Do you have xcode installed in your system? You need it for compiling packages on MacOS

xcode-select --install

Here are some installation instructions

thank you I did instal it and tried getting the packages I still get the same error messages and I cannot seem to instal ggplot2

6

Are you getting the exact same error message? because this part suggests that you don't have xcode properly installed in your system.
