Difficulty installing dslabs and tinyverse packages in RSTudio

[kezia]

I had downloaded RStudio(Version 1.3.1093) and R(4.0.3) on my Mac OS 10.15.7
I am unable to installt the dslabs and tinyverse packages. On installing, I get the following,

also installing the dependencies ‘backports’, ‘prettyunits’, ‘rprojroot’, ‘pkgbuild’, ‘rstudioapi’, ‘diffobj’, ‘rematch2’, ‘brio’, ‘callr’, ‘desc’, ‘evaluate’, ‘jsonlite’, ‘pkgload’, ‘praise’, ‘processx’, ‘ps’, ‘waldo’, ‘colorspace’, ‘assertthat’, ‘utf8’, ‘testthat’, ‘farver’, ‘labeling’, ‘lifecycle’, ‘munsell’, ‘R6’, ‘RColorBrewer’, ‘viridisLite’, ‘cli’, ‘crayon’, ‘ellipsis’, ‘fansi’, ‘magrittr’, ‘pillar’, ‘pkgconfig’, ‘vctrs’, ‘digest’, ‘glue’, ‘gtable’, ‘isoband’, ‘rlang’, ‘scales’, ‘tibble’, ‘withr’, ‘ggplot2’

** There is a binary version available but the source version is later:**
** binary source needs_compilation**
testthat 2.3.2 3.0.0 TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)

I am new to coding. How do I proceed?

[andresrcs]

The easiest solution would be to answer "no" to this question, you would get a precompiled binary version that is a little older but much easier to install.
If you need to install the latest version from source, then you need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.

I answered "no" but I got a lot of code written in red as below. I have just installed Xcode. Is there something else I'm missing?

install.packages(c("dslabs", "tinyverse"))

Is that the complete message you get? I suspect you are omitting some important parts.

Note: Please post the message as formatted code, here is how to do it

FAQ: How to format your code

Formatting Code: the Basics All code or console output you include in your posts should be formatted properly. Luckily, this is very easy to do! Just use the code formatting button at the top of the post editing box: [image] Select some code Click the </> button! The code formatting button automatically adds special Markdown formatting symbols to whatever you selected. If you check the preview pane to the right of your post, you'll see that the forum software now outputs nicely formatted code . [04] The code formatting button is pretty smart! It can tell the difference between snippets of code that are part of a sentence and blocks of code that stand alone. …

install.packages(c("dslabs", "tinyverse"))

this is a typo,
tidyverse vs tinyverse

Oh, I'm sorry. I've pasted the formatted code below.
It keeps going on like this.i had to interrupt it as it kept going on.
Is this right?

[nirgrahamuk]

It shouldnt be interupted, it should keep going, as that is the process to install tidyverse...
you wont have access to tidyverse until it completes succesfully

[andresrcs]

You are showing normal installation messages so far, tidyverse is a compilation of many packages so it is going to take a while to install them all, just keep waiting till it finishes or you get an error message.

[kezia]

Thank you so much!
It's working now and I can continue learning
