MuxViz GUI and rgdal package

[EmilyLaub]

Hi MuxViz team!

I am trying to install the MuxViz GUI, and I am struggling because 'rgdal' and 'session' packages no longer supported as of 3 months ago. I wanted to alert you to this issue and ask if you had solutions.
I am attempting to run the following code:
https://github.com/manlius/muxViz/blob/master/gui-old/muxVizGUI.R

R version 4.3.1
R Studio Version 2023.09.1+494

Pasted is my error output:
