also installing the dependency ‘rlang’
There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
rlang 0.1.6 0.3.0.1 TRUE
ggplot2 2.2.1 3.1.0 FALSE
Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?

The most immediate problem here is that the packages you are trying to install need to be compiled from source, and your computer does not have the necessary compilation tools installed.
However, the only reason these packages need to be compiled is that you are running a version of R that is almost 3 years out of date (new versions of R come out every year, usually in April; the current long-in-the-tooth version is 3.5, but you seem to be running 3.3). Pre-compiled binaries of packages are made available for the current version of R, but not for older versions. If you were running current R, you would not need to compile these packages during installation. So the first thing I’d recommend is updating your R, then trying again
If you’d also like to install the developer tools that let you compile packages like these from source, can you confirm what version of your operating system you’re running? (Pasting in the output of sessionInfo() would be very helpful!)
