failed to install packages with pak

[wtbxsjy]

I am using R on Windows 10, but can't install any package with pak. The "install.packages" works well. for example, install liteq:

pak::pkg_install("liteq") 

→ Will install 1 package. → Will download 1 CRAN package (88.78 kB).

• liteq 1.1.0 [dl] (88.78 kB) ℹ Getting 1 pkg (88.78 kB) ✔ Cached copy of liteq 1.1.0 (i386+x86_64-w64-mingw32) is the latest build ✔ No downloads needed, all packages are cached Error: ! error in pak subprocess Caused by error in process_initialize(self, private, command, args, stdin, stdout, …: ! Native call to processx_exec failed Caused by error in chain_call(c_processx_exec, command, c(command, args), pty, pty_options, …: ! Command '' not found @win/processx.c:982 (processx_exec) Type .Last.error to see the more details.

It seems to be the problem caused by processx, then I reinstall the processx with install.packages but the error is still there.

How did you install pak? Can you try to install it like this? https://pak.r-lib.org/reference/install.html#pre-built-binaries

I reinstalled the prebuild binaries, and pak works well now. Thanks for your help.
