I am working on HPC with RSTudio 4.2.1 and I want to install RTools with the installr package. I was able to install the installr but then, when I run the command install.Rtools() I get the following:

Infiniband hardware address can be incorrect! Please read BUGS section in ifconfig(8).
trying URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools42-x86_64.exe' 


Warning message:
In download_fun(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, quiet = FALSE,  :
  cannot open URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools42-x86_64.exe': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

I installed the installr using devtools::install_github('talgalili/installr')

If anyone run into this, I would really need some help!

This is currently a known bug as reported in

https://github.com/talgalili/installr/issues/177

since the link of fetching the rtools has been changed.

You can wait until the authors of the installr package fix it or manually download the r tools and follow the steps.
