Error in Rtools installation

General
1

I tried to install Rtools from [https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/index.html ]
downloaded the Rtools35.exe file and ran the installation for R version 3.5.3. I got the following codes of error

install.packages("Rtools")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/harik/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘Rtools’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.5.3)

Please, can someone help? Thanks

Rtools is not an R package, it's a separate piece of software which needs to be installed as per the instructions in the link.

Thanks Martin, but after doing so, I got this error

As I said, you just install the software. If this was successful, then you are good to go in a fresh R session.

There is no Rtools package to install in R.
