unable to install [R] package KernSmooth on Windows- error: package ‘KernSmooth’ is not available (for R version 3.5.1)

OS: Windows 7 RStudio installed R ver. 3.5.1

attempted to install KernSmotth package with: install.packages("KernSmooth")

output: Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib: cannot open URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5: cannot open URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/PACKAGES' Warning message: package ‘KernSmooth’ is not available (for R version 3.5.1)

I reset repository option with: options(repos = getOption("repos")["CRAN"]) still the same error.

KernSmooth is a CRAN package and am able to access: http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/PACKAGES

which verifies this assumption. I am able to access https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/ from my browser too and this does not seem to be a proxy issue.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I believe this was environmental when I changed CRAn mirror via chooseCRANmirror() and set it to an accessible for my IP site it worked:

*> install.packages("KernSmooth") trying URL 'https://cran.csiro.au/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/KernSmooth_2.23-15.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 113884 bytes (111 KB) downloaded 111 KB package ‘KernSmooth’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpcDQuVX\downloaded_packages

local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)),graphics=TRUE) + if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)}) KernSmooth 2.23 loaded Copyright M. P. Wand 1997-2009*
