Cannot manually install a package

Hi, I am having a little bit of difficulty installing a package that I need for a project. It is a package by Maclean et al (2018) and I have tried to install it but the following message appears? Does anybody have any ideas? I really appreciate any pointers. Thank you so much in advance.

Method:
Tools > Install packages ... > Install from: Package Archive File
> Package archive: the zip file
> Install to Library: (my default folder for R)

Package here: https://zenodo.org/record/1411517#.YEEBw7qR-Uk

install.packages("C:/Users/madar/Downloads/microclima-1.0.0.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/madar/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :

Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

This seems to be your problem. You need to install Rtools
