error in tidyverse installation

General

Hey there,
how can I handle the following error message while trying to install a package;

WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

RTools: Toolchains for building R and R packages from source on Windows
Warning message:
package ‘sylib’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
R Installation and Administration

especially that part of message calls, 'is not available for tis version of R'. my R version is the latest one and i have the same issue for tidyverse
regards

That part just means that it might be available for other versions for R, but I agree that it is very misleading, because in fact it is not.

There is not R package on CRAN called sylib on CRAN, AFAICT there never was, so you either mistyped the name of the package, or you want to install it from another source that you didn't set up.

Rtools is a systems level program that you need to install for Windows.

See:

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools

I am not a Windows user but my guess is syslib is a Windows programe that may come with `RTools" or which you may need to install separately.
