Non-zero exit status: "shinymanager" on Ubuntu EC2 AWS - r

Question

I am trying to host a shiny app on an AW2 instance with ubuntu. This is the first time I have tried using an EC2 instance and the last package I need to install, "shinymanager" for the app is giving a non-zero exit status. Please let me know how to install "shinymanager" to the shiny-server on my ubuntu ec2 instance.
Ubuntu version: 18.04+
R version: R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01) -- "Bird Hippie"
All the below packages have installed successfully through this method:
/srv/shiny-server$ sudo R
install.packages(c("package name"), dependencies = T)

Package libsodium was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsodium.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libsodium' found
Using PKG_CFLAGS=
Using PKG_LIBS=-lsodium

Configuration failed because libsodium was not found. Try installing:
* deb: libsodium-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
* rpm: libsodium-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
* csw: libsodium_dev (Solaris)
* brew: libsodium (OSX)
If libsodium is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libsodium.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

###### Various Download info #########
The downloaded source packages are in

Warning messages:

2: In install.packages("shinymanager", dependencies = T) :

UPDATE
Inerestingly I was able to get shinymanager to download how ever I believe the LibPath is inccorrect. I believe I need to change it from /root/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1 to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library

Answer 1

I wish I could give the exact solution but I am sure why it finally worked. I tried various install.packages() specifying libpath and dependencies. I then ran into the same issue with RSQLite and that worked eventually too after it failing for many tries and combinations.
