我正在尝试在 devtools package 中使用 install_github 但失败了

Question

I am using Sierra MacOS 10.12.6 and running rstudio 1.2.5033 and R 4.0.3 on a macbook pro from early 2015. Can anyone please let me know how to fix this issue?

First I got the following error:

Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: HTTP error 401. Bad credentials

I then unset this PAT via Sys.unsetenv("GITHUB_PAT")

However, now I get another error as in the example below and this occurs when installing any github package, almost identically, even the "line 34" below. The dyld symbol binding and symbol not found error always occur and I also always get the same Warning in file(con, "r"). This dyld error seems to be related to the fact my OS is less than 10.13

I suppose that might answer the question but do I need to update the OS, actually?

According to the R download page, R version 4.xx requires macOS 10.13 or higher. Your two options are to update your OS or to download and install an older version of R eg R-3.6.3.nn.pkg ( https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ )
