Tried both 1.3 and 1.4 Versions of SDS package

R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01) -- "Bird Hippie"
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

Is SDSFoundations package installation necessary?

That package is not on CRAN and is only provided as a binary compiled for an old R version so you can't install it with the latest R version, I think your best hope would be to contact the package author, that particular package only provides a set of fake data frames to follow along with a course so I think they can manage to provide such information in other formats.
