Issue installing package and running functions

I am sure that it's something wrong with my setup but I can't figure out how to install this package. I have tried with a URL and the tar.gz file but I receive a message to say it isn't available with this version of R. I'm using R 4.2.3 and Rtools42.

As a workaround, I downloaded the R scripts from the zip file available here and loaded them as functions into R. e.g. source("GLMER.R"). But when I try to run the glmer function for example, it says the function does not exist. Code below taken from https://timnewbold.github.io/PredictsIntroduction.html#human-pressure-information does not work even after sourcing all the R files included in the StatisticalModels package.

richMod1 <- StatisticalModels::GLMER(modelData = sites,
responseVar = "Species_richness",
fitFamily = "poisson",
fixedStruct = "LandUse",
randomStruct = "(1|SS)+(1|SSB)",
saveVars = c("Longitude","Latitude"))

Error message:

Error in glmer("Species_richness~LandUse+(1|SS)+(1|SSB)", family = fitFamily, :
could not find function "glmer"

Edit needed in GLMERSelect to allow nested random effects

Adding the following line into the function underneath line 10 should be all that is needed

randomTerms <- unlist(sapply(randomTerms,function(x) strsplit(x,'[:]')))

How to cite StatisticalModels?

Hey mate, thx heaps for your efforts with this package. We're looking to cite in a paper soon to come out, but when we use the citation() function in R, this is the output:
To cite package ‘StatisticalModels’ in publications use: Who wrote it (2015). StatisticalModels: What the package does (short line). R package version 0.1.
Any chance you can update that functionality in the package and/or provide us with a bit more complete info.

At the moment, this is our best shot at a reference:
Newbold, T. (2015). StatisticalModels (0.1) [Computer software].
