Error package installation

General

I am starting with R. I installed the latest version of R and R-Studio today.

I need to import a large excel file. Then the following problem goes:
install.packages("readxls")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:
https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Acer/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘readxls’ is not available (for R version 4.0.2)

Then I followed these instructions
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/index.html

but still there is the problem I cannot install packages. at least those i need right now.

I cannot find a package called readxls. Do you mean readxl? Try

install.packages("readxl")

Yep. Thanks. It has changed names. Plus, You need to add double \Documents\ba,,, for paths... just in case someone new reads this.

Bests,
