Error in renv:restore()

General
#1

I was trying to install renv packages. Here're my steps I did:

  1. Install renv package
    install.packages( "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/renv/renv_0.12.5.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source" )

  2. Initialize a local library
    renv::init(bare=TRUE)

  3. Install the correct packages
    renv::restore()

In the #3 process, I faced an error message as below;

Installing Matrix [1.2-18] ...

Please help me how to solve the problem. Thanks!!

If you are choosing to compile from source then you need a build chain. You serm tk be on windows so i would think Rtools is what you need.
