Error installing the R package: CBNplot on github - r

Question

I want to install the CBNplot package on GitHub:
Making the website：https://github.com/noriakis/CBNplot
Try two methods:
The first is direct download：
The following error occurs：
devtools::install_github("noriakis/CBNplot")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/sjadsqf/Documents/R/win-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
installing source package 'CBNplot' ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error: object 'choose.direction' is not exported by 'namespace:bnlearn'
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'CBNplot'
removing 'C:/Users/sjadsqf/Documents/R/win-library/4.1/CBNplot'
Warning message:
In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/sjadsqf/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpMHHiTR/file555833c63074/CBNplot_0.99.2.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
Then I tried the second method
pkgbuild::build("D:/R/CBNplot-main",
dest_path = "D:/R/library/")
Error: object 'choose.direction' is not exported by 'namespace:bnlearn'
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'CBNplot'

-----------------------------------
ERROR: package installation failed
Error in (function (command = NULL, args = character(), error_on_status = TRUE, ...:
! System command 'Rcmd.exe' failed
Exit status: 1
stdout & stderr:
i notice that error
Error: object 'choose.direction' is not exported by 'namespace:bnlearn'
So I tried to install belearn，After the installation is complete, the above error still appears in the operation

If you look at the changelog for the package bnlearn, it says
Version 4.8
...
removed choose.direction().
The lastest version of bnlearn therefore does not have the choose.direction function that the earlier versions had. Obviously, the CBNplot package uses this function, so the update in bnlearn has effectively broken the existing version of CBNplot.
The solution is to install an earlier version of bnlearn. For example, if I do
remove.packages('bnlearn')
devtools::install_version('bnlearn', version = '4.7')
devtools::install_github("noriakis/CBNplot")
and skip any package updates that are offered, I can install the package without difficulties.
