Failed to install bigrquery on RStudio server

Question

I recently installed RStudio server on Google Compute Engine and now want to connect to BigQuery. I have successfully installed and loaded packages such as dplyr and ggplot2, but failed to load bigrquery and devtools. Running the code snippet below:

install.packages("bigrquery")
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github("rstats-db/bigrquery")

results in this error message:

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘devtools’

Loading bigrquery separately also results in similar error message:

Error in library(bigrquery) : there is no package called ‘bigrquery’

I noticed that the installation sent message saying dependencies for the package not available. I didn't get this problem installing and loading bigrquery and devtools on my RStudio desktop. How can I solve this? I'm working on Windows and launch the RStudio server on Google Chrome.

I've tried `install.packages('devtools')`. Is there any other way? — Stella Kusumawardhani, Feb 08 '19 at 04:05
Can you try it on a fresh R session. when you installed the devtools, did you get any error message — akrun, Feb 08 '19 at 04:09
Noticed that you are using `windows`, Check [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30219174/r-error-installing-devtools-in-windows) — akrun, Feb 08 '19 at 04:09
have you tried `install.packages("devtools", dependencies = T)`? — morgan121, Feb 08 '19 at 04:28
Do you get any errors when installing `devtools`, for example from the `openssl` or `gitr` packages? These depend on system libraries which you have to install on the Linux server, including development packages. — Ralf Stubner, Feb 08 '19 at 09:03
