For a project I want to run in RStudio Cloud, I tried to install a package from github, i.e.
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("euctrl-pru/trrrj")
I ended up with an error message that the package ssh is not installed. Installing ssh delivered the following error message pointing to libssh and path configuration. As a mid-level R&Studio-user and novice user of RStudio Cloud, I have reached my limits here.
Can anybody help?
How can/could I install the required ssh package and supporting libssh or how can I configure the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable,etc.?
install.packages("ssh")

Package libssh was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libssh.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libssh' found

Configuration failed because libssh was not found. Try installing: - deb: libssh-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
- rpm: libssh-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
- brew: libssh (OSX)
If libssh is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libssh.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=...'
