  Binaries will be installed
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of

Your error message is telling you that ggplot2 is not being installed because rlang is not being installed correctly.

You can first try simply running:

install.packages("rlang")

If this fails it may be because you do not have the necessary tools to build R packages from source. If this is the case, you will need to install RTools and then once that is done, re-run the installation of rlang again after restarting your R session.
