Have you tried what's suggested in the README.md?  I've quoted the
relevant portion below:

Installation

The current release is available on CRAN, which you can install via:
install.packages("quantmod")

To install the development version, you need to clone the repository
and build from source, or run one of:

# lightweight
remotes::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")
# or
devtools::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")
