"Error in contrib.url(repos, type) : trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror" Error when installing package

Hi.

I am trying to install a package a few packages from the source for R shiny-server, 

sudo su - -c "R -e \"source('https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/10x.files/supp/cell-exp/rkit-install-1.1.0.R')\""

but the command is giving me an error

 Error in contrib.url(repos, type) : 
trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror
Calls: source ... eval -> eval -> install.packages -> grep -> contrib.url
Execution halted

How do i fix this ?

Used this instead and it worked

sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/10x.files/code/cellrangerRkit-1.1.0.tar.gz', repos=NULL)\""
