Error installing rnaturalearthhires about rnaturalearth HOT 6 CLOSED

One possible culprit might be using http instead of https. I received this same error (tried turning VPN off, restarting RStudio, etc.) and in the end was able to install it when I used:

install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "https://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source")

instead of the http url suggested by the error message. @aneal01 @dylancraven can you test this out?

from rnaturalearth.

Both URLs work for me:

install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "http://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source")
install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "https://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source")

Is anyone else facing this issue?

I didn't try with type = "source" to be honest, but afair the https link worked without it while the http link didn't. I tried again and now both work (downloading Windows binary) and also work with type = "source" (and building from source).

Might have been a temporary issue at ropensci build chains, but imho you should use the https protocol in all cases regardless of http working or not.

It is kind of hard to tell from your formatting, but did you try:

install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "http://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source")

Judging by this:

Error in install.packages : error reading from connection

I'd guess there was a network or internet error.

I just gave it a go and it successfully installed:

I ran into the same error today when trying the http link. Changing to https solved the problem and I was able to download and install.
Imho the function check_rnaturalearthhires() and related should use https by default, as that's a safer protocol.
