Monocle3 Download error in R

Question

[odi]

I keep getting this error while attempting to download the monocle 3 package:

Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"), :
'CreateProcess' failed to run 'C:\RBUILD1\4.4\usr\bin\make.exe -f "Makevars" -f "C:/PROGRA1/R/R-441.0/etc/x64/Makeconf" -f "C:/PROGRA1/R/R-44~1.0/share/make/winshlib.mk" compilers'

removing 'C:/Users/703617894/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.4/monocle3'
Warning in i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/703617~1/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpgrs5SR/file2bc45a17f5a/monocle3_1.3.7.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Please can someone help!

A little background, my R has been upgraded to R 4.4.0 so i am attempting to download monocle3 using this code:

devtools::install_github('cole-trapnell-lab/monocle3')

Do you have the Rtools package installed? You need this to compile from source.
