4. Some possible issues when installing the package, especially on the MacOS system #

(1)Cannot find tools necessary when using R in the MacOS system.

Error: Failed to install 'METEOR' from GitHub:
  Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call `pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)` to diagnose the problem.

possible solution: in R, type the code options(buildtools.check = function(action) TRUE ), see the discussion about this error, link

(2)library not found for -lgfortran when using R in the MacOS system.

ld: library not found for -lgfortran

It seems the gfortran is not well installed on the MacOS system. Please check this link for the gfortran installation to see if it helps.
