After install.packages("tidyverse"), the source packages were downloaded fine. However, when I'm trying starting to type in "library(tidy)" to load the library, only tidyr and tidyselect popup as options; tidyverse doesn't pop up as an option. And when I type in "library(tidyverse)" anyway, I get the error below.
Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse’
Thanks in advance!
What prints to the console when you do install.packages("tidyverse") ?
tidyverse has not been successfully installed because you have a lot of outdated packages, you can try updating them first with this command but since you are using a very old version of R very likely you are going to get into more installation issues, my advice, update R first, then your packages and then try to install tidyverse.
update.packages(repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/', ask=FALSE, checkBuilt=TRUE)
OH okay. Thank you for helping the newbie here.

You haven't updated R or used the command I gave you, if you keep doing the same thing without changing a thing you are going to keep getting the same result.
