rsofun installation

[Zinny-E]

I am trying to install the rsofun package using the methods in the documentation and getting these errors.

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rsofun’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at [https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages]

tried the other methods, it says this
Downloading GitHub repo geco-bern/rsofun@HEAD
Error: Failed to install 'rsofun' from GitHub:
Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE) to diagnose the problem.

How can i resolve this.

[lauramarques]

install.packages("rsofun") will not work because rsofun is not in CRAN at the moment.

If you are using Windows, you might need to install Rtools before (see here)
Then, downloading rsofun via GitHub should work.

I am using Mac. Should i follow the same steps.

I've added information for installing rsofun from source in the README. Check there first and let us know if this resolves your question or not.
