thank you very much,I am a new guy to learn R.

Since you are using an old R version you are forced to compile packages from source (precompiled binaries are only available for the latest R versions), and for compiling R packages on Windows you need to have RTools installed in your system (not in R), you can download a suitable installer for your R version from here
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/history.html

Or, you could update R to the latest version (4.1.1) to get access to precompiled binaries that are easier to install.

I update R to the latest version,then the problem was solved,thank you so much,andresrcs
