Hello @andresrcs
Thanks for getting back. There is no message.
I can share a screenshot.

Your problem is not installing the package it is loading it. Does the same happen if you load the package just in R (not in RStudio)?

I think you should try to contact the package author and report a bug.

No, all other packages are good. I didn't try R. Should I?

@sumo2020

Should I?

If you also can't load it in R then most likely the issue is with the package itself and only the package author will be able to help you.

It worked for my friend who has R and R studio installed on windows, I wonder if it's more of a Mac issue. Any clues on that?

[andresrcs]

It could be an issue of the package with Mac systems but there would be nothing you can do about it from the user side.

Gotcha.
Thank you!
Will contact the developer.
