Couldn't get past the initial install because I have a ~/.Rprofile that defines my own repo location.
Local workaround is to comment out this line in your ~/.Rprofile if you have it:
local({
# options(repos=getOption('repos', 'https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/cran/'))
})
Install doesn't bail out at the start.
I'll submit a PR for a fix.
