Usually at this stage

There is a binary version available but the source version is
later:
binary source needs_compilation
BiocParallel 1.30.2 1.30.3 TRUE

you are asked whether you wish to install the binary or the source package. Choose the binary package.

Alternatively, install Rtools to compile from source; this is NOT the best solution for most users.
