I'm trying to install a package in R and I'm getting this error:

Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:

2: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
3: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :

Try

install.packages(“package_name”,  repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
