Conda environment Rtools problem

Question

[MatthewP]

Hello, my conda env is on win10, not linux.
I ensure there is rtools installed.

(RPlot) PS C:\Windows\system32> conda list rtools                                                                       
# packages in environment at C:\Users\m\Miniconda3\envs\RPlot:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
rtools                    3.4.0                         0

But when I want to install package by devtools:

> devtools::install_github("caleblareau/BuenColors")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.

Please download and install Rtools custom from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/.
Downloading GitHub repo caleblareau/BuenColors@master

How to solve this problem?
