Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called ‘magrittr’

[Neelam]

Hi, i tried to install tidyverse and it give following error-
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘magrittr’

However , when i tried to install ‘magrittr’ package and it gives somethings like that-
package ‘magrittr’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning in install.packages :
cannot remove prior installation of package ‘magrittr’
Warning in install.packages :
problem copying F:\R\R-4.1.2\library\00LOCK\magrittr\libs\x64\magrittr.dll to F:\R\R-4.1.2\library\magrittr\libs\x64\magrittr.dll: Permission denied
Warning in install.packages :
restored ‘magrittr’

The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\DELL_BVS\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpM9C6et\downloaded_packages

Thank you!

It looks like you have an older version of {magrittr} installed and loaded.

Try restarting R and Rstudio and then try installing {magrittr}.

If you get the same error, it is possible that RStudio is loading a .Rdata file that is recreating an older environment. In that case it is a good idea to disable the automatic loading.

Tools > Global Options
Uncheck the"Restore .Rdata into Workspace at start-up" box

Hi, I have the error and try your ways as well. But it's still not working.
Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Can you post the complete error message. I think the output of

sessionInfo()

might also be helpful.
