Trying to debug a package that I can install via GitHub actions, but for some reason it fails locally on a MacBook. The error only telle me that it failed, but not why. Is there a way to get more information ? I tried debug = TRUE, but that is not supported.

Try downloading the tarball or zip file from GitHub, extracting it and then calling R CMD build and R CMD INSTALL.
