Installation error: ‘redshiftTools’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)

I've just upgraded R to version 4.0.0. When I try to install the package with the following command

install.packages("redshiftTools",repos = c("http://rstudio.org/_packages","http://cran.rstudio.com"))

I am getting the following error:

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘redshiftTools’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)
Warning in install.packages :
  unable to access index for repository http://rstudio.org/_packages/bin/windows/contrib/4.0:
  cannot open URL 'http://rstudio.org/_packages/bin/windows/contrib/4.0/PACKAGES'

Is it possible to still install it and get my scripts to work?

{redshiftTools} is no longer on CRAN. If you want to install the latest version you'll have to run,

 devtools::install_github("sicarul/redshiftTools")

This version still works, but is no longer being maintained. I am in the process of rehabbing this project and will be maintaining it over at https://github.com/RedOakStrategic/redshiftTools

Thanks @JakeRuss I've installed via devtools and worked properly
