I was unable to install the package on Windows with version R 4.4.3, and so I looked at the CRAN check and noticed that there are a few warnings and errors. On Windows, the CRAN checks are showing that the package cannot be installed, matching the issue I'm seeing. Here are the CRAN check results from April 14, 2025.
