  • As the warning message indicates, you will need to install [Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/history.html) (Rtools35.exe if you're using R 3.6.3) first. – semaphorism Nov 13 '20 at 10:08
  • Thanks for help. I installed Rtools35.exe and still have the same problem.> library(SimRAD) Error: package ‘Biostrings’ required by ‘SimRAD’ could not be found > install.packages("Biosstrings") Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Ali Basuony/Documents/R/win-library/3.6’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package ‘Biosstrings’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3) > – Ali Basuony Nov 13 '20 at 10:35
  • That looks like a typo: the package is 'Biostrings' not 'Biosstrings'. See also guidance [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25721884/how-should-i-deal-with-package-xxx-is-not-available-for-r-version-x-y-z-wa) for resolving this issue (this looks like problem 1 in the accepted answer). – semaphorism Nov 14 '20 at 00:08
