Hi and welcome to the site! Please [edit] your question and tell us: i) do you actually have a working internet connection? ii) What operating system are you using? iii) What version of R?

@Amina what is your local language and your keyboard configuration?. It might be a problem related to it. The command with this error is the install? Have you asked this in support.bioconductor.org (which is the official channel)?

@llrs I checked my system and everything was correct. I didn’t ask support.bioconductor. However, thank you for your advise.

I don't know what is correct for you, but definitely something is not correct, so please post your language configuration if you want further help. I suspect that part of the problem is from reading a string in a different encoding that the supported or something similar.

<bioconductor>
install bioconductor
# install bioconductor
