Installing MXNet package in R

I am having many problems trying to install MXNet package in R I am using 3.4.0 R version and using Windows 10 Intel i3 processor, x64 based 64bit processor.

I get the prompt:

install.packages("mxnet")
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open URL 'http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/src/contrib/PACKAGES.rds': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/los40/OneDrive/Documentos/R/win-library/3.4
(as ‘lib is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘mxnet is not available (for R version 3.4.0)
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open URL 'http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/PACKAGES.rds': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

I tried to download the .rar files provided here. I unpack one and get a folder that says "R package" trying to install it using:

> install.packages('R.package.rar', lib='D:/mxnet',repos = NULL)
Error in install.packages : type == "both" cannot be used with 'repos = NULL'
> install.packages('R.package.rar', lib='D:/mxnet')
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘R.package.rar is not available (for R version 3.4.0)

The guide found at http://mxnet.io/get_started/windows_setup.html doesn't make any sense to me as I can't find the file needed during the pre-build package installation steps in windows named setupenv.cmd

For Rstudio package mxnet is not available so you can install alternative packages like neuralnet or nnet

For Windows, if you want to install "mxnet". Use the following command:

cran <- getOption("repos")
cran["dmlc"] <- "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/apache-mxnet/R/CRAN/"
options(repos = cran)
