Error installing Devtools

[AliceEV]

Hi!
I am having great difficulty in installing devtools.

I keep getting errors related to dependencies:

From #2131, I tried using their solve:
sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev
however this hasn't fixed anything.

Current error messages are

I am running Linux through VSC, I think these are the specs:

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Probably some system packages are missing. This is what you need on Ununtu 24.04 is that's what you have:

> pak::pkg_sysreqs("devtools")
── Install scripts ───────────────────────────────────────────────── Ubuntu 24.04 ──
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install libx11-dev git libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make \
  libgit2-dev zlib1g-dev pandoc libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev \
  libtiff-dev libicu-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfribidi-dev libharfbuzz-dev \
  libxml2-dev

── Packages and their system dependencies ──────────────────────────────────────────
clipr       – libx11-dev
credentials – git
curl        – libcurl4-openssl-dev, libssl-dev
fs          – make
gert        – libgit2-dev
gitcreds    – git
httpuv      – make, zlib1g-dev
knitr       – pandoc
openssl     – libssl-dev
pkgdown     – pandoc
ragg        – libfreetype6-dev, libjpeg-dev, libpng-dev, libtiff-dev
remotes     – git
rmarkdown   – pandoc
sass        – make
stringi     – libicu-dev
systemfonts – libfontconfig1-dev, libfreetype6-dev
textshaping – libfreetype6-dev, libfribidi-dev, libharfbuzz-dev
xml2        – libxml2-dev

Or, if you are the root user or have password-less sudo, then you can use pak to automatically install them.

Right thank you, the four it mentioned wouldn't install but presumably that's because the other dependencies weren't present, so I'll try that. Thanks!
