I tried lot possible combination given here , but still getting same error all time .hope i will get appropriate solution from you guys which can run successfully .Thanks

Answer 1

This installation procedure (which does not attempt to get or unzip a gz) was successful. If you try this from a fresh R session and it still does not work, perhaps try an earlier version of R (this is on 3.6.3). I can confirm that the package is available from github and not corrupted:
> install.packages("remotes")
> library(remotes)
> remotes::install_github("Groupe-ElementR/SpatialPosition")
Downloading GitHub repo Groupe-ElementR/SpatialPosition#master
These packages have more recent versions available.
It is recommended to update all of them.
Which would you like to update?
1: All
2: CRAN packages only
3: None
4: Rcpp (1.0.3 -> 1.0.4.6) [CRAN]
5: rlang (0.4.5 -> 0.4.6 ) [CRAN]
6: withr (2.1.2 -> 2.2.0 ) [CRAN]
7: pkgbuild (1.0.6 -> 1.0.8 ) [CRAN]
8: backports (1.1.5 -> 1.1.6 ) [CRAN]
9: ps (1.3.2 -> 1.3.3 ) [CRAN]
