setupJulia: Preferences.jl can only be used on Julia v1.6+! #15

Dear Developer,

I've been eager to try your exciting package, but the installation process has been frustrating.

Currently, I've completed library("RTIGER") in R, and it looks okay.
In Julia, I ran the following steps

ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = "https://pkg.julialang.org" #I can't smoothly git clone
versioninfo()
]
registry rm General
registry add General
using Pkg
Pkg.add("Suppressor")
Pkg.add("RCall")
using Suppressor
using RCall

Despite the challenges, everything seemed great up to this point!
However, when I tried setupJulia(JULIA_HOME = "my path") in R, some errors occurred. I followed the suggestion to run include("~/R_libs/JuliaCall/julia/setup.jl") in Julia, but same errors recall.

ERROR: LoadError: Preferences.jl can only be used on Julia v1.6+!

It seems like RCall might not be compatible with Julia 1.4.0? However, I'm not sure how to install the correct version of RCall.
julia-version 1.4.0; R-version 4.3.3
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, honestly, am I the only one facing these issues? Have you considered providing a conda or docker version?

Any suggestions, please : (
