RStudio Proxy Configuration on Windows

Question

This question has been asked in: Configure proxy on Rstudio. However, it was never resolved.

I am a user of RStudio 0.99.486 version and R 3.2.2

Answer 1

I also nearly gave up on this problem until I found this simple solution (R3.3.1):

1. specify the system environment variables (in Windows Advanced System Settings add the variables http_proxy and https_proxy and set it to http://user_name:password@proxy.company_domain.es:8080/ with your specific settings)

2. in the R console type

update.packages(ask='graphics',method="libcurl",checkBuilt=TRUE)
