Can you post the whole error message you are getting? You are omitting the important parts.

install.packages("sodium")

    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsodium.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

    Configuration failed because libsodium was not found. Try installing:
  • deb: libsodium-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
  • rpm: libsodium-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
  • csw: libsodium_dev (Solaris)
  • brew: libsodium (OSX)
    If libsodium is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
    PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libsodium.pc file. If pkg-config
    is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
    R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
