Hi, I am a beginner here. I've recently studied R and I need to download the mpg dataset which is available in ggplot2 in order to do my assignment but i just can't install the package :nauseated_face:. I've found some ways to solve the issues in here but it turned out the same that I can't install it. Please help meT___T

here's my errors ( actually, there are a lot more than these but I just don't understand a thing)

I suspect you need to update your R or some key packages. Please post the first three lines that are returned by the command

sessionInfo()

When using Anaconda you are better off installing packages through the environment manager and not directly from CRAN.

Also, Anaconda is great for Python but not so much for R so if you are going to be working with R, I suggest you to change to a stand alone installation instead of relying on Anaconda

Thank you so much, I have tried installing R Studio as you said but my macbook notified me that it is unable to locate. ( I don't know why) :sob: :sob: I will try it again!
