Looks like the problem arises here

installing source package 'Rcpp' ... ** package 'Rcpp' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** using staged installation ** libs Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), : ### 'make' not found * removing 'E:/R Sessions/Appsilon/shiny-enterprise-dashboard/Appsilon_SED/renv/staging/1/Rcpp' install of package 'Rcpp' failed [error code 1]

Which says installation of Rcpp failed. I suggest reporting this here instead.

Note also that, if you're trying to install packages from source on Windows, you'll need RTools to do so.

Hi,
it happened to me as well when I try to use the following code to install a previous version of a package:
<
*remotes::install_version("dartR", version = "2.7.2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org",
lib="C:/Users/gabry/Documents/R/R_3.5_dartR2.7.2")

• installing source package 'bit' ...
  ** package 'bit' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
  ** using staged installation
  ** libs
  Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), :
  'make' not found
• removing 'C:/Users/Jessica Morgan/Documents/R/R_3.5_dartR2.7.2/bit'
• installing source package 'tzdb' ...
  ** package 'tzdb' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
  ** using staged installation
  ** libs
  Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), :
  'make' not found
• removing 'C:/Users/Jessica Morgan/Documents/R/R_3.5_dartR2.7.2/tzdb'
• installing source package 'backports' ...
  ** package 'backports' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
  ** using staged installation
  ** libs
  Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), :
  'make' not found
• removing 'C:/Users/Jessica Morgan/Documents/R/R_3.5_dartR2.7.2/backports'
• ...>

and so on...for all the dependencies, so the package does not get installed...

How to fix this issue?
I even downloaded and installed the latest RTools & restarted the PC:
<
@DESKTOP-9RRT4IQ MSYS ~
$ make --version

But still same issue...I would really appreciate some help as this is blocking my work progress....i just need to install in a custom library folder a previous version of the package and cannot use versions::install.versions() either because it relies on MRAN which closed...

Thank you for any help!
Gabry
