Having problems installing.packag("BatchGetSymbols")

I can't install.package("BatchGetSymbols") for some reason. I am just doing this:

install.packages('BatchGetSymbols')
library(BatchGetSymbols)

and i am getting this:

> install.packages('BatchGetSymbols')

(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

* removing ‘/home/rstudio/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/BatchGetSymbols’
Warning in install.packages :

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpAhaAos/downloaded_packages’
> library(BatchGetSymbols)
Error in library(BatchGetSymbols) : 
  there is no package called ‘BatchGetSymbols’

Does anyone understand why there is a problem??

Install the latest version of R before

Commands to install: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/

Choose the version of your system and run the commands

After that try to install the library.
