Need help, i had to reinstall R studio, onto a new computer, and now receving errors when I try to plot
I added the following script:
ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
received this error:
ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
Error in ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) : could not find function "ggplot"
Did you run
library("ggplot2")
?
Yes
library(ggplot2)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in get(method, envir = home):
cannot open file 'C:/Users/lupes/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/lifecycle/R/lifecycle.rdb': No such file or directory
In addition: Warning messages:

2: In get(method, envir = home) :

You have a corrupted installation of lifecycle try installing it again
install.packages("lifecycle")
package ‘lifecycle’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\lupes\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpmaQkTW\downloaded_packages
ff = read.delim('forestfires.tsv', header = TRUE, sep = '\t')
ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
Error in ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) : could not find function "ggplot"
What happens now when you try to load ggplot2?
library("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env):
cannot open file 'C:/Users/lupes/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/colorspace/R/colorspace.rdb': No such file or directory
colorspace now.
repeat 
As @nirgrahamuk says, you are now missing a different package colorspace you have to keep solving this issues the same way until you can manage to load ggplot2 with out error messages
ggplot2(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
Error in ggplot2(ff, aes(x = area)) : could not find function "ggplot2"
As I said before, you are not going to be able to use ggplot until you manage to load it so instead of hopelessly running that code, try to load the package and see what is the next issue.
perhaps there is confusion due to the package being called ggplot2, but there is no such function.
i.e.
ggplot2::ggplot()
is probably what is meant ?
So for what i see i am to plug the following in my script:
ggplot2::ggplot()
Is that correct?
I don't have your script, nor your data. Therefore I can't say what ff is, nor area.
but assuming you had reason to believe that
ggplot2(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
would work, on that basis, I recommend attempting
ggplot(ff, aes(x = area)) + geom_histogram()
I do most of my plotting with the plotly package (who's main function is plot_ly() hilariously enough )
ff is for 'Forestfires.csv' file that I am extracting my data and trying to plot.
