It seems you are missing a package dependency, try installing it

install.packages("ellipsis")

Hello Andres,

Thanks for the reply. But, while enabling the package I am getting below error.

library(ellipsis)
Error: package ‘ellipsis’ is not installed for 'arch = x64'

Can you please post the complete output message you get?

This could be related to install into a cloud-synced folder, try to manually delete that folder and install again, if that doesn't solve your problem I recommend setting your package library in a non-synced folder.

You can change the default library folder by setting your R_LIBS_SITE environmental variable on a .Reviron or .Rprofile file

# In a .Renviron file you can set it by adding this line
R_LIBS_SITE="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-4.0.3\\library"

For a more detailed explanation, you can read this blog post
