I am trying to install sass in R 3.6.3 in order to install the gt package, but to no avail. I have checked a previous post with a similar problem but it has not solved my issue, so I would appreciate any help.
I have tried installing from CRAN:
install.packages("sass")
but I keep getting this error message:
Installing package into '/home/christabucao/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
