It looks to me like this is a problem with the paths on your machine. My best guess is that it's trying to install from a location other than CRAN, and can't find hms there. Try running options()$repos to see where the global option for repositories is pointing, and if it isn't CRAN, redirect it there.

Hi, I edited the paths to remove my account name. I picked a CRAN repository in Texas from with R. I reran the install and picked the 0-cloud CRAN repository and I receive the following output:

install.packages('neonUtilities')

Hmm. You may end up needing to update to R 3.6, but it also might be that the repos you're using arent fully up to date. Try this:
install.packages("neonUtilities", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com/")

I tried installing the hms package and received an error stating that a dependent package, vctrs, needed to be 0.2.0 or higher but the installed version was 0.1.0. I tried installing vctrs using type=source and it failed with errors. Perhaps, I need devtools? I used the cran.rstudio.com repository when installing the packages. I then updated R from 3.4.0 to 3.6.1 and installed neonUtilities. It seems to load the neonUtilities library without errors. I assume that neonUtilities installed properly. Is there a way to test the installation? Feel free to close this ticket.

Updating to R 3.6.1 seems to have fixed my installation issues.
