Problems installing the devtools package

Question

I wish to use the devtools package. I've run the following commands:

> install.packages("devtools", dependencies = TRUE)

....

> library(devtools)

Error in library(devtools) : there is no package called ‘devtools’

Answer 1

To solve this issue, run the following command in your Linux shell:

apt-get -y build-dep libcurl4-gnutls-dev

apt-get -y install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
