I’m trying to install R package `shinystan`. I obtained some error message about installing `igraph`.

Then I tried to install `igraph` separately, Bu it seems not working for R 4.0. I’m using Windows 10.

Very much appreciate if you could advise how to solve it.

Error message:

```nohighlight

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'igraph'

Probably the Windows binaries were not yet available at the time you tried to install `igraph` for R 4.0. They are available now however, I just tested it.
