Answer 1

From the path showing up in the error message, it looks like you're running on macOS.

If so, you must install the nlopt system library before installing nloptr .

Hopefully you have Homebrew installed (if not, please reply/comment and I will attach some further info), hence open the Terminal and run

brew install nlopt

At the end of the brew install command, go back to R and install nloptr .
