configuration failed for package ‘units’

General
1

While installing Biotools, I am getting the error message as
configure: error: in `/tmp/RtmpoFuWzp/R.INSTALL35c0a63c2a0bd/units':
configure: error:

Configuration failed because libudunits2.so was not found. Try installing:
* deb: libudunits2-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, ...)
* rpm: udunits2-devel (Fedora, EPEL, ...)
* brew: udunits (OSX)
If udunits2 is already installed in a non-standard location, use:
--configure-args='--with-udunits2-lib=/usr/local/lib'
if the library was not found, and/or:
--configure-args='--with-udunits2-include=/usr/include/udunits2'
if the header was not found, replacing paths with appropriate values.
You can alternatively set UDUNITS2_INCLUDE and UDUNITS2_LIBS manually.

See `config.log' for more details

Then you have to install this system dependency, on a terminal (not the R console) run this command.

sudo apt install libudunits2-dev
