Hmm...do you get the output of install.packages("ggspatial")? My guess is that one of the dependencies failed to install.

Yes the problem is with rjson which is in prettymapr, which is in turn used by rosm.

Hmm...it looks like 'rjson' is still on CRAN. Perhaps because it's an old-ish version of R there are no binaries? You may have to try either updating R or installing via RStudio Package Manager, which builds binaries for Windows for older versions of R than version 4.1.

You are right, on the machine I had the error, I have R with version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29), while on my laptop I have R with version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22 ucrt), and that works fine.
