I would like to install R packages. But I failed. I suspect it has something to do with my inability to log in to https://mghp.osn.xsede.org/. It took me a whole day to solve the problem. Looking forward to your reply

It looks like the site that hosts the archived versions of Bioconductor packages is currently down (https://mghp.osn.xsede.org/).
You could try the function chooseBiocMirror()
and select an alternative. In my experience option 2 (Germany (Gottingen) [https]
) often works well.
Alternatively (and probably recommended), you can update to using R 4.3 and Bioconductor 3.17. Then the packages will come from a different site, and you'll be getting the most up-to-date versions.
Thank you very much for your reply. Will this website (https://mghp.osn.xsede.org/) return to normal? I really need an old version of the R package
I assume it will come back, but it's not something I have control over and can't suggest a timeframe.
Did you try selecting a mirror using the function above? Many of the mirrors include packages going back to very early versions of Bioconductor, so you can install from their instead.
Installing via Conda is a thing you can do, but that's out of our control as well. I don't know of a compelling reason to use Conda for R/Bioconductor (it's not Python after all). You will be better off if you just install the current versions of R and Bioconductor directly.
Thank you very much for your reply. But I found that the URL for downloading the R package of the old version (Bioconductor 3.16) cannot be logged in. I still want to use older versions of R packages (eg genomeinfodbdata version 1.2.9). May I ask when will the server https://mghp.osn.xsede.org/ that stores the old version work normally?
