Issue/Introduction

When using TERR Tools to install packages under RStudio IDE getting an error about missing Rtools

Resolution

Spotfire 10.10 includes TERR 5.1, which was built to be compatible with R 3.6.2.  Check the version of Rtools installed, as TERR 5.1 is not compatible with Rtools 4.0, and downgrade to a supported version of Rtools.
