So I've finally gotten RStudio downloaded and working on my Pixelbook using the Linux beta (3.6.0 and newest version of RStudio).
I opened up Rstudio and then tried to install tidyverse- the process was taking almost twenty minutes so I tried to quit Rstudio which then took another few minutes to shut down.
I then opened the app up to try again but now it shows that the tidyverse packages are present on the side. I tried to use library(tidyverse) but it says that there is no package with that name. I was able to use library(ggplot2) and library(tibble).
Did these packages install correctly without tidyverse actually installing? I've used RStudio before but only on windows systems and my Linux experience thus far has been difficult. When I had installed packages like tidyverse in the past on Windows systems it never took longer than a few minutes and always actually ended in console output. I appreciate any clarity you can offer me!
EDIT: I quit the installing of readr because I saw it in the package list. Then the console restored the previous thing right before I did library(tidyverse).
UPDATE: So I tried to install sparklyr and am stuck in a similar endless stream of console output... I can't link the output because it is constantly adding and scrolling and I can no longer scroll to the top of the output. Is anyone familiar with this?
Here is all of the console output from this session:

Yeah I know I quit the installation process but the weird part is that individual tidyverse packages like ggplot2, diplyr, and purr all showed up after I force quit the program. ggplot2 is the only one that I installed separately and the rest definitely weren't there the first time I booted rsrudio up.
Should I just remove all packages and then try to reinstall tidyverse and give it as much time as possible? Or should I try to install those remaining packages separately.
If I were to remove all packages and start from scratch how would I do that?
So I tried to install httr using install.packages("httr") and this is the output that I got:

The error message is telling you what the problem is, you just have to read it more carefully, you are missing a system dependency (not an R package), in your topic title says that you are using Debian, so try installing it with this command from a system terminal.
