Unable to install ggbiplot package on R Studio (R version 4.1.1)

I have been having issues installing the "ggbiplot" package into R. I looked it up online and the following code was provided:
Sys.setenv(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS="true")
library(devtools)
install_github("vqv/ggbiplot")
(Please refer: ggbiplot won't install - ggbiplot_0.55.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status)

Following is the error message i keep getting in R studio when i try the above codes. I am not sure what the issue is and I am not very familiar with R. This code was given to me by someone else and i am trying to work it based off my data.

What happens if you try to install the missing package dependency?

install.pacakges("reshape2")

Do you get any error messages?
