Error in install tidyverse

Hello all,

I have a MacBook Air version 10.14.6 (MacOS Mojave) and installed R version R 3.6.3 GUI 1.70 El Capitan build and RStudio version 2021.09.1+372. Newer versions couldn't be opened.
While installing the tidyverse and car packages I receive a Error message (see below). Does anyone have a solution to use these packages? Sorry for the long text, it is what appears when I try to install tidyverse.
Thanks a lot!

PACKAGE TIDYVERSE

There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
sys 3.4 3.4.1 TRUE
bit 4.0.4 4.0.5 TRUE

bslib 0.2.5.1 0.4.1 FALSE
htmltools 0.5.2 0.5.4 TRUE

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

Try install.packages("colorspace"), then retry.

Thanks a lot @technocrat, unfortunately it doesn't work after installing colorspace, there is an other error message.
Do you have any other idea how to solve this problem? To you think the older version of R and RStudio might be a problem? Newer versions couldn't be opened on my MacBook.

Or might there be a relation with this message?

What was the message. If it was related to a compiling error, try again and if offered the option to install from source, choose “no.”

Is updating Mojave an option?
