dependency with Matrix ?

[danivapp]

I am unable to install the package:

> install.packages("arules")
also installing the dependency ‘Matrix’


  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
       binary source needs_compilation
Matrix  1.5-1  1.5-3              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) y

I am not familiar with installing Matrix from source on macOS.

Here is a similar problem: https://community.rstudio.com/t/xcrun-error-invalid-active-developer-path-library-developer-commandlinetools-missing-xcrun-at-library-developer-commandlinetools-usr-bin-xcrun-error-compilation-failed-for-package-rlang/27553/3

They say that you need to install/update Xcode.
