R - WAC/FLAC conversions with seewave

I need to convert FLAC files into WAV with R. I am using seewave package.

So I am working with a sample file file.flac.

test <- wav2flac("file.flac", reverse=TRUE)

I get the following error command

Error in wav2flac("file.flac", reverse = TRUE) : FLAC program was not found.

According to seewave's CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/seewave/seewave.pdf#page=207), I need to install FLAC in my PC. I am unsure how to do that.

Best,

R user
