R package DT cannot be installed

In order to use the following command in RStudio

DT::datatable(Result, rownames = FALSE)

the package DT needs to be installed. Without it the following error occurs:

Error in loadNameSpace(name) : there is no package called 'DT'
Calls: <Anonymous> ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>

But when calling

install.packages("DT")

the following happens:

Installing package into ‘\\path/to/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
    (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
    also installing the dependency ‘htmlwidgets’
    

 There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
            binary source needs_compilation htmlwidgets  1.5.1  1.5.3             FALSE DT            0.13   0.16             FALSE

installing the source packages ‘htmlwidgets’, ‘DT’

Can you give me a clue about what is wrong and how it can be fixed?

htmlwidgets it not available for your R version.

Please use:

install.packages("htmlwidgets", type = "binary")

And if needed:

install.packages("DT", type = "binary")
