Unable to Install Plotly in R

You need to install all those packages that have been named in the error messages. There are a couple of other dependencies to be installed. Debian:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libssh2-1-dev
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Centos:

sudo yum -y install openssl-devel
sudo yum -y install libcurl libcurl-devel

You won't need all of them but better safe. I also like to install devtools: install.packages("devtools")

    I am trying to install plotly library in R. I tried following commands:

    install.packages("plotly")
    library(plotly)
    

    But I got an error.

    There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
    binary source needs_compilation
    plotly  4.5.6  4.6.0             FALSE
    
    installing the source package ‘plotly’

    Can someone help with the error to install R?
