[Failed to install tern package]: <Failed to install tern package in 4.1.2 R version.>

What is your question?

My R version is 4.1.2, when I try to install the tern package, it tells me that the dependency package "estimability" requires R (>= 4.3.0), is there any way for me to successfully install the tern package in R version 4.1.2?

@pawelru do we then need tern R>4.3? Maybe it is a dependency we can have a lower minimum version?

library(devtools)
install_version("estimability", version = "1.4.1")

I can now successfully install the tern package by installing v1.4.1 of estimability, thanks!

We definitely don't. It's due to external dependency that is out of our control. Luckily OP managed to find the root cause and find a work around. I think it's fair to close it.
