Blogdown download fails

I have this error when I try to install the blogdown package with the RStudio's packages panel. I guess it's something basic, but I don't know what it means!

> install.packages("blogdown")

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
         binary source needs_compilation
blogdown    0.6    0.7             FALSE

installing the source package ‘blogdown’

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/blogdown_0.7.tar.gz'
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/blogdown_0.7.tar.gz': HTTP status was '502 Bad Gateway'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : 
  cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/blogdown_0.7.tar.gz'
Warning in install.packages :
  download of package ‘blogdown’ failed

Thanks for helping!

There was an issue with the cran mirror service used. For cran.rstudio.com, you can follow status of service here : https://status.rstudio.com/

When you have similar error, you can try another mirror for example, changing the repos in RStudio IDE global options or changing the options repos in the call install.packages or globally. with options(repos = c(CRAN='<new-url>') ```
