Hi, you need install Rtools. Next you could install gdata

see this video and make the same.

""C:\Program Files version nueva\R\R-4.2.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe"" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,

It seems you have installed R itself on a non-standard location (i. e. "Program Files version nueva"), R doesn't work well on Windows when there are empty spaces on its file PATH.

Do you have any idea on how can i fix that?

Install R on the standard location C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.1, the "apparent" empty space here is managed by the OS internally so it doesn't cause any troubles.
