Error in installing package

I am new to r studio and r programming in general so it's a little bit tough. I am trying to install a package but this is what the system is showing me;

install.packages('oilabs')
Installing package into ‘/home/ldk039@UTSARR.NET/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.6’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘oilabs’ is not available (for R version 3.6.0)

what can I do

The function install.packages default behavior is to look for that package name in CRAN. But I don't think oilabs is in CRAN yet.

The homepage for oilabs is here on rdrr. Note the "Installation" section on that page has instructions to install that package from github,

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("andrewpbray/oilabs")
