My lab has a Ubuntu version 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa) and I have spent this past week trying to install devtools to no avail. I tried so many things but cannot seem to install it.
I even tried following these sudo tips among other tips but also failed.

Try deleting this lockfile, then install.packages("zip") and see what happens.
There might be multiple packages that you need to install first. When this happens again, try to read the error messages carefull, and from the bottom up, resolve these one-by-one, and this should help.
PS. I noticed that you are trying to install to a site library (/usr/local/lib/R/site-library), not a user library. The problem here might be that you are on a shared machine, and don't have permissions to install to the site library.
@andrie Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to finally install devtools. But I am having a crazy hard time trying to install other packages like "Signac" and "Seurat" among others. I even try to install the dependecies one by one like a crazy person and still doesn't work. Why am I facing such problems?

Keep reading the error messages. In your logs you have this:
This most likely means that you are missing a system dependency on your linux machine. The system dependencies are usually documented in the package DESCRIPTION file, and the easiest way to determine these is to look for the system dependencies at https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/
@andrie Unfortunately that does not solve it. I may be facing a bigger problem here.
For example, I am trying to install the package Seurat. I get an error saying it needs a package called igraph. I install igraph with all it system dependencies and then face such an error (see below). I do not know why it is so hard to install R packages.

Actually this solved it. Apparently Anaconda3 has been interfering with things.
I just had the same problem installing igraph in Ubuntu 16.04 on R 3.5.2. I can confirm that this issue is due to the package installer trying to use the shared object library for libgfortran in Anaconda3 when compiling the igraph package.
A very quick and dirty work around for this is to temporarily break your Anaconda installation by moving it to a .bak folder, install igraph in R, and then move Anaconda back to its original directory name.
$ whereis anaconda
$ anaconda: /opt/anaconda3/bin/anaconda
$ # adjust the next line based on the output from the whereis command
$ # sudo mv /opt/anaconda3/ /opt/anaconda3.bak
$ R
> install.packages("igraph")
> q()
> n
$ # again, adjust the next line based on the output from the whereis command
$ # sudo mv /opt/anaconda3.bak/ /opt/anaconda3
Now if you load igraph with library(igraph) it should work and Anaconda will too.
NB: You do not need sudo in the above command if you have Anaconda installed in your home directory.
