In the beginning, I am trying to install Netboost with

BiocManager::install("netboost")

and it says it is not available for my version of Bioconductor. However, the Bioconductor website says that Netboost should work with version 3.17 and R 4.3 which I have!

So I manually downloaded the Source Package "netboost_2.8.0.tar.gz" (there isn't a windows binary file), and the error says it is a Unix-only package:

> install.packages("C:/Software/R_package/netboost_2.8.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
ERROR:  Unix-only package

It is a package only compatible with Unix, so Linux and macOS-ish operating systems. Your options are to switch to a Unix machine, or to use WSL2 to have native Linux available, or to use something like Docker.
