Try doing C-h v and then enter > `package-archives'. package-archives’s value is (("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")) Original value was (("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")) This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable. Documentation: An alist of archives from which to fetch. The default value points to the GNU Emacs package repository. Each element has the form (ID . LOCATION). ID is an archive name, as a string. LOCATION specifies the base location for the archive. If it starts with "http(s):", it is treated as an HTTP(S) URL; otherwise it should be an absolute directory name. (Other types of URL are currently not supported.) Only add locations that you trust, since fetching and installing a package can run arbitrary code. You can customize this variable. This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in version 26.1 of Emacs. > Are those sites reachable from your place?
