@Freddy

checking for xml2-config... no

You are missing the xml2 system library, you haven't told us what Linux distribution your are using so I can't give you a specific command to install it but can easily Google how to install xml2 on your specific Linux OS

@andresrcs

xml2

Thanks for you response! I edited the title with de distribution (Debian 11), now will try install xml2 and comment how it result.

[andresrcs]

In that case run this command on a system terminal

sudo apt install libxml2

[Freddy]

It's installed

$ sudo apt install libxml2

Try with

sudo apt install libxml2-dev

NOW YES! The 'bibliometrix' package was installed succefully
