When attempting to install tidyverse in R studio on fedora tidyverse's dependencies wont install

Issue

Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘googledrive’ had non-zero exit status
ERROR: dependencies ‘curl’, ‘gargle’, ‘googledrive’, ‘httr’, ‘ids’ are not available for package ‘googlesheets4’
* removing ‘/home/lanewhitten/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/4.0/googlesheets4’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘googlesheets4’ had non-zero exit status
ERROR: dependencies ‘googledrive’, ‘googlesheets4’, ‘httr’, ‘rvest’ are not available for package ‘tidyverse’
* removing ‘/home/lanewhitten/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/4.0/tidyverse’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘tidyverse’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpxCRrL7/downloaded_packages’

That is the tail of my error messages. Ive already installed curl on fedora using
sudo dnf install curlI am at a total loss as to how to resolve this and switching operating systems or running a virtual machine is not an option for me.

Solution

The development packages which are not specified in the error message need to be installed

sudo dnf install libcurl-devel
sudo dnf install openssl-devel 

then do install.packages("tidyverse")
