Thank you all. In sum, installing packages from RStudio 1.2.5042 without
Rtools present, I received warnings saying RTools required but
installation nevertheless was successful.
Installing from R-4.0.0 directly, I have no problem.
This is obviously an RStudio problem but unfortunately they are not
willing to help free version users. I feel so sorry having to post it here.
===
1. IN RStudio I reun the following to install from CRAC and from local a
file, respectively:
Tools -> Install Packages -> (Choose Repository CRAN from pull-down menu)
Tools -> Install Packages -> (Packages, Archice, Files (.zip; .tar.gz)
from pull-down menu)
In both cases, I received warning messages saying Rtools is required...
but nevertheless the installation is successful.
2. Installing from R-4.0.0 directly, installation were successful
without warning.

Hello John, Perhaps you can help me. I am an idiot. I visited the Rtools web page and learn to run the following lines in R: Still I am getting the same warning message.

That looks OK. Did you restart rstudio? How exactly are getting this error? Are you using install.packages() in R? Or using the pkgbuild package? Also are you running the latest version of rstudio? I think old versions may have had difficulty finding rtools40.
