Can't install ggstatsplot due to a configuration failure for package ‘Rmpfr’ in Mac OS Mojave

I am trying to install the r package ggstatsplot but having an issue with a package called Rmpfr.

library(ggstatsplot)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggstatsplot’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘Rmpfr’

Then when I want to install the required package:

install.packages('Rmpfr')


There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
          binary source needs_compilation
    Rmpfr  0.8-1  0.8-3              TRUE
    
    Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) Yes
    installing the source package ‘Rmpfr’
    
    trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/Rmpfr_0.8-3.tar.gz'

    * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/Rmpfr’
    Warning in install.packages :

I have no idea what does this mean. Could you please help solve this issue?

You need to install the mpfr library on your Mac to get the missing mpfr.h header required to compile Rmpfr. The easiest way to install mpfr is via homebrew with the following command.

brew update
brew install mpfr

You can learn more about Homebrew at https://brew.sh/.
