I have been getting this every time I try to install ggmap:

WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

I have installed Rtools but still cannot install ggmap or rjson.

    Make sure Rtools are in your PATH. This means that whichever tool is using them will be able to find them. There are several ways of doing this. See [this link](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools40.html) to learn how to do it from R. – Roman Luštrik Jan 10 '22 at 15:26

    Other steps that might help if Roman Luštrik's link doesn't finish it for you: restart RStudio and/or restart windows. BTW: R-3.6 is a bit outdated, I suggest updating to R-4.0 or R-4.1 (fyi, R-4.2 is expected early/mid 2022, I believe). – r2evans Jan 10 '22 at 15:32
  • I believe the current version of RTools requires R version 4.0 or higher. So unless you went in the archive to install an older version, you may need to update R for this to work. – Gregor Thomas Jan 10 '22 at 19:09
  • Thanks for your help, I've installed an even newer version of R and it's all working okay now! – Julianne Pickard Jan 11 '22 at 11:56
