I can't install the sf package when I use the renv package in a project

I started a new project in Rstudio and selected the option to use renv. The first thing I did was type the command install.packages('sf') and R returned the message below. How to proceed?

> install.packages('sf')
Error: package 'sf' is not available
In addition: Warning messages:

3: curl: (35) schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012) - A função de revogação não pôde verificar a revogação do certificado.

Solution

  • As @KevinUshey pointed, I was able to download it with:

    Sys.setenv(RENV_DOWNLOAD_FILE_METHOD = "libcurl")
