I everyone, I am new to R and I am trying to install the StatsBombR package shown here

GitHub - statsbomb/StatsBombR: This repository is an R package to easily...

But when I run devtools::install_github("statsbomb/StatsBombR) I get an error saying lazy loading failed for package ‘StatsBombR’. Would anybody be able to help. The complete error message is as follows:

I can't be sure if this is your only problem since you are not showing the complete output message but, this part means that you are missing a package dependency. To solve it you have to install the missing package, the tricky part is that SDMTools is no longer in CRAN so you need to install it from another repository, try with rforge.

install.packages("SDMTools",,"http://rforge.net/")
