I have to use a specific program in R 3.1.3
For that purpose whenever I am trying to install any package it is throwing error
unable to access index for repository http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.1
Apparently, it seems the directories in the repos are available from version 3.2 onwards. Here, I am trying to install shiny package.
Hw to resolve this problem?
Per the README at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ReadMe :
Packages for R >= 1.7.0 and R < 3.2.0 are available from https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/
So you can try downloading from that site. Note that install.packages may not work as it doesn't seem to have the structure of a regular CRAN mirror, but since you're on Windows you should be able to download the zip files and unzip them into your package directory.
