Installation of quantmod in R

I try to install R quantmod

When I try:

install.packages('quantmod')

I see:

Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

If libcurl is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libcurl.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpeR1Cmy/downloaded_packages’  Using PKG_LIBS=-lcurl

And I can't run this library.

When I try:

install.packages("quantmod", repos="https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod")

I see:

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘quantmod’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4)

But R version 3.4.4 is the latest!!

What is the problem?

P.S. My R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15) -- "Someone to Lean On"

It looks like you need to install curl for your system. Open a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev

Then try again in R to install your package:

install.packages('quantmod')

If this doesn't work edit your question and post any additional error messages.
