Thanks andresrcs, I installed Rtools in my system and installed the other required packages.
However, I get this error despite trying to install BooST through devtools and remotes
library(devtools)
install_github("gabrielrvsc/BooST")
And I get this error
Downloading GitHub repo gabrielrvsc/BooST@HEAD
Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, :
cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/gabrielrvsc/BooST/tarball/HEAD'
Also with remotes
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("gabrielrvsc/BooST")
A similar error pops up

Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, :
