The CRAN link appears to 404 out; the hyperlink in a browser doesn't work either.

The binaries for macOS are not built yet, as the CRAN page shows. install.packages should detect this and offer the installation from source as an alternative (at least, that's what happens on Windows).

Anyway, that's an R/CRAN issue, not a units issue. Probably the r-sig-mac mailing list is a better place to report this.
