unable to install yacas with Rstudio

I already downloaded Yacas on my windows. I first installed package Ryacas directly from Rstudio but no yacas functions can be run. I later ran this command and got the following errors:

> devtools::install_github("r-cas/ryacas", build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"))

I have also tried these:

How to run/install ryacas?

Update:

There are two R packages for yacas. Some references online refer to the old package. Some old commands are still useful just make sure we have downloaded the old package. Also, we cannot use the yacas commands on the official manual directly with R interface. We have to do something like yacas("...") or some yacas commands specifically for R.
