I understand from this post How do I install an R package from source?

that you need to specify

install.packages("file or path to file if downloaded", repos=NULL, type="source").

However, my issue is when using a bioconductor package that doesn't install correctly using

   if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
          install.packages("BiocManager")

       BiocManager::install("packagename")

When I use the alternative;

   install.packages("https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/xcms.html/xcms_3.20.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

OR

  install.packages("C:/Users/XXX/Downloads/xcms_3.20.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

Neither works, regarding the first it says the page is not found.

I noticed when using the BiocManager, the http it tried to download from was https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.16/data/experiment/src/contrib/4.2/xcms_3.20.0.zip, but for me the access is forbiden.

Question - where do I find a readable http source link to download a Bioconductor package?
