Trying to install gifski for use with gganimate package. After successfully installing cargo and rust I ran the install command and received the following errors:

Note: Installing gifski via cargo install gifski worked without error

This looks like a problem with your cargo installation: error: couldn't create a temp dir: No such file or directory (os error 2). Do you have a c compiler (gcc) installed?

Issue resolved by manually installing cc via cargo install cc then proceeding with devtools::install_github("r-rust/gifski")
