Sorry if this is a neophyte question, but when I execute
devtools::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod", ref="157_yahoo_502?)
I get the following error message:
"Installation failed: Could not find build tools necessary to build
quantmod?
See the second-to-last bullet in the Installation section of quantmod's README: https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod#installation
Help much appreciated.
