Error: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package

[lexie-lee]

Hi,

I met a error when I try to install cellchat.

I installed the NMF, umap according to your tutorial.

but when I try to install cellchat using "devtools::install_github("jinworks/CellChat")"

I met the error:

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

when I call pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)

it says:

Trying to compile a simple C file
Running /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R CMD SHLIB foo.c
/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include" -DNDEBUG   -I/usr/local/include   -fPIC  -Wall -g -O2  -c foo.c -o foo.o
/bin/sh: /usr/local/clang4/bin/clang: No such file or directory
make: *** [foo.o] Error 127
Error: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call `pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)` to diagnose the problem.

I checked the clang version is 9.0.0. and I also configured my bash file, it still doesn't work.

is there any suggestions? can you help me solve this?

Thanks.
