Unable to Install Plotly in R

I am trying to install plotly library in R. I tried following commands:

install.packages("plotly")
library(plotly)

But I got an error. 

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
plotly  4.5.6  4.6.0             FALSE

installing the source package ‘plotly’

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/plotly_4.6.0.tar.gz'

Can someone help with the error to install R?

You need to install all those packages that have been named in the error messages. There are a couple of other dependencies to be installed. Debian: 

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libssh2-1-dev
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Centos:

sudo yum -y install openssl-devel
sudo yum -y install libcurl libcurl-devel

You won't need all of them but better safe. I also like to install devtools: install.packages("devtools")
