ERROR: dependencies ‘pkgdown’, ‘pegboard’, ‘gh’, ‘gert’, ‘usethis’ are not available for package ‘sandpaper’ in R version 4.4.0 (2024-04-24) under ubuntu22.04.2LS with install.packages("sandpaper", dep =TRUE)

I am expecting to run install.packages("sandpaper", dep = TRUE) without errors. Any recommendations?

Relevant part of the log:

------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You're missing the libxml external dependency. Instructions are in the log above 🙂
Make sure you restart your R session after installing libxml before retrying

Thanks @milanmlft , I was missing that one and these two libgit2-dev, r-cran-curl:

sudo apt-get install r-cran-xml
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
sudo apt install libgit2-dev
sudo apt install r-cran-curl

🎉 * DONE (sandpaper)
