i am unable to install this package. no clue how should i proceed further

What happens if you install gtools then restart RStudio?

3

i couldnt even install it.

4

i think its a problem with my r studio version which is 3.6.1.
can i upgrade it without uninstalling it

5

It might be that or the version of R. The page on CRAN doesn't mention anything though.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gtools/index.html

I can't remember, but I think you can install both without uninstalling, but you might need to reinstall the packages.

6

what should i do now?

7

It might be good to update R. Your 3.6.1 version is from July 2019. Hopefully that will fix it.

The latest release is 4.0.1.

8

do i need to uninstall the current one

9

No, just download it. You'll need to reinstall the packages though.
