However, when I try to install libssl-dev (I have Ubuntu 14.04.3) then I got the message "‘libssl-dev’ is not available (for R version 3.2.2)".
Any idea what to do? Download a new R version or is there any other solution?

You have a lot of outdated packages that are causing installation issues and you are using a quite old R version, I recommend you to update R to the latest version (3.6.2) and update your packages with. Then you can try to install devtools again
Recent versions of devtools already import remotes under the hood because that functionality is no longer implemented on devtools itself so a separate installation of remotes shouldn't make any difference. It is likely that your problem has been solved just by restarting your R session since there are not any issues in your installation logs.
Rtools is not an R package is a separate software that you have to download and install Thanks, @andresrcs! I've installed Rtools, and changed my default library which should now be the first on the following list, I believe: > .libPaths () [1] "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library" "\\fs01/users/asafsa/R/win-library/3.6" [3] "C:/R_custom_library"
Check your R version in bash terminal if you are on Ubuntu or Linux. Now update the R only. Now R will be updated and the error will be removed. Make sure to cd the library path where you want to install the new package. This way in bash terminal. Try to create the R directory at home folder or it will be at the default.
That is a system package - not a R package. From the command line you can run
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
What fixes the problem in my Ubuntu is installing this:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
It is not immediately apparent unless you do:
install.packages("git2r")
it will throw this error:
The zlib library that is required to build
git2r was not found.
Please install:
zlib1g-dev (package on e.g. Debian and Ubuntu)
zlib-devel (package on e.g. Fedora, CentOS and RHEL)
and try again.
