Hi, and welcome!

Please see the FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I create one? Using a reprex, complete with representative data will attract quicker and more answers. This question doesn't require one, because it's a self descriptive error message, but please keep this in mind for any coding questions.

The key line in the error message is

namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.2 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.5 is required

It's telling us that the rlang package version is out-of-date.

The normal result of

install.packages("rlang")

is nothing when rlang is up-to-date.

^{Created on 2020-03-18 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)}
shows the current versions of packages in the installation.

What I'd suggest is

install.packages("rlang")

from the console pane, quitting, restarting, then

library(rlang)
sessionInfo() 

Under loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

you should now see rlang_0.4.5
