Hello @tta

It seems to be the R/RTools issue. Did you try the solution that found in other R community? (such as this post or this post)

@tta

I can install it properly.

I am using R version 3.6.3 (64bit) and devtools 2.3.2.

What are the versions of R and devtools that you are using?

Hi,

Thanks for responding. My version for R and devtools is 3.5 and 2.0.1, respectively.

I tried installing RTools, but it said that it was not available for R 3.5.

Thanks,

THT
