Problems installing lars

Hi! I'm trying to install lars and I'm currently facing this problem:

install.packages("lars")
Installing package into ‘/home/dimitra/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’

The downloaded source packages are in

I have no idea what to do.

You are missing the fortran compiler in your system, you haven't told us what operating system you are using but very likely you can get specific installation instructions if you google: "how to install gfortran in <<your Linux distribution>>?"
