Error in RStudio installation

Guys, I am trying to install rstudio-desktop from the AUR on my kde plasma, but it always stops and gives the following error:

How can I install it properly?

[HowTo] Fix a failing AUR package build

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ AUR packages, contrarily to packages available in Manjaro’s repositories, need to be built locally in order to be installed. And as any process, that building can also fail for various reasons. Technically, what are hosted in AUR are not packages but PKGBUILDs, scripts describing how to build packages. For more details, see: PKGBUILD - ArchWiki As its name implies, the Arch User Repository is a community maintained repository towards Arch Linux…

An alternative would be the rstudio-desktop-bin package. It doesn’t need to be compiled. If RStudio doesn’t start check the last comment on the AUR page about the current sandbox problem.

Thank you, I had given up rstudio-desktop-bin because of this problem, but now it works flawlessly.
