Error: "Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: Timeout was reached" while installing SeuratDisk, R version 4.1.1, Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10) -- "Kick Things"
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

I tried installing pacakge SeuratDisk with install.packages in R version 4.1.1, but installation failed saying package ‘SeuratDisk’ is not available for this version of R. Following is the command entered and warning message -

**>install.packages("SeuratDisk")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

Warning in install.packages :

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,

Next, I tried with the code given on github URL https://mojaveazure.github.io/seurat-disk/
Still, I am not able to install this package. Follwing is the code entered and the resulting error message -

>if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly = TRUE)) {
install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("mojaveazure/seurat-disk")
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:

Kindly help. I tried installing SeuratDisk with R version 4.0.0 and 4.1.3 also. Nothing has worked out. With the latest version of R i.e. 4.3.1, Seurat package itself is not getting installed so, I chose to install through the previous versions of R (4.0.0 and 4.1.3) which worked out but its additional package SeuratDisk is not getting installed.
