Can't install statsr

[maxipagliero]

Hi there, I'm setting up my R enviroment but when trying to install "statsr" I get the "Error: Could not find build tools necessary to build Rcpp" message. Below is the command I'm using.

Previous to this, I have installed the following:

install.packages("devtools") library(devtools)

install.packages("dplyr") install.packages("ggplot2") install.packages("shiny")

Anyone out there with the same problem. I'm running Mac.- BR MAX:-

My guess is that you are running on a windows system without Rtools installed, this is available here - https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. Once that is installed try restarting R or RStudio and attempt to reinstall the packages.
