Could not find tools necessary to compile a package

[mightyphil2000]

Hi there!

When I try to install hyprcoloc I get the error "Could not find tools necessary to compile a package". Do you know why I may be getting this error?

install_github("jrs95/hyprcoloc", build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"), build_vignettes = TRUE) Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT Downloading GitHub repo jrs95/hyprcoloc@HEAD Error: Failed to install 'hyprcoloc' from GitHub: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package Call pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE) to diagnose the problem.

nevermind. I think I found the answer. I recently updated my mac OS and apparently I had to reinstall xcode. seems to work now.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that you have had a problem downloading the package.

To help us find the issue could you answer the following:

• What system are you using? If you are using Windows, do you have Rtools installed?
• Could you run the code suggested, pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE), and provide the outcome?

Best wishes,

James
