I've already followed the instructions in https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ for rtools40 installation suposedly needed to build R packages, not missing the ' Putting Rtools on the PATH' section.
But I keep finding error messages when trying to install devtools (or any other package) and also trying to call the package with library()
command. I have read in FAQ forums that the reason could be in the environment variables and the PATH but I haven't been able to solve the problem. Any help would be very useful. (This is my first time using R or any ther language). Than you in advance!
My code:
> install.packages("devtools")
