Hi,
the needed 'XML' package seems not to be available for your R version (3.6.0), which the last line of the error suggests. Please find more information on this dependency here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/XML/index.html
I suggest to install getSpatialData with R version >=4.0.0. If you want to avoid replacing R 3.6.0 (because required in other projects) you may also use different versions depending on the project. Installation of getSpatialData should work under 4.0.0
