Cannot install on Ubuntu

Hi guys,

I have successfully installed rstan, but I cannot manage to install rstanarm and I do not understand why.
I have also tried to install first bayesplot but I always get the same error you can see below.

install.packages("rstanarm")

Hi,

It complains about the linewidth aesthetic, which was introduced in ggplot2 version 3.4.0. Try to upgrade ggplot2 to at least this version, and after that try installing rstanarm.

bayesplot package seems to use this feature, but incorrectly requires only that ggplot2 version ≥ 3.0.0.
