issue with installing the finch

[haniehsaeedi]

I tried to install the package bt I ran into some difficulties, this is the error I get, I think it might have something to do with my R version?

install.packages("finch")

Also tried

install_github("ropensci/finch")
Error in install_github("ropensci/finch") :

Can you help please?

install_github function is the remotes package, which you can install like install.packages("remotes")

To install Rtools see https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
