Looks like you're using remotes::install_github(), which in turn uses remotes::install().
The README https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/254c67ed6502e092a316553f2a44f04b0e595b64/README.md says "Setting R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS=true avoids stopping the installation for warning messages. Warnings usually mean installation errors, so by default remotes stops for a warning. However, sometimes other warnings might happen, that could be ignored by setting this environment variable. So I'd guess Sys.setenv(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS = TRUE) before installing the package would address this problem.

What is its setting before you start the install?
