I can't load "ggplot2" in my library in R version 3.4.3

[Master_shifu]

When I start to install "ggplot2" pacakages following this command on R studio 1.1.442, it gets installed but with following information shown in the console:

> library("ggplot2")
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
 there is no package called ‘Rcpp’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘ggplot2’ was built under R version 3.4.4 

Afterwards, as it's mentioned above regarding package of "Rcpp", I made another command to install it and it gets installed with following information:

> install.packages("Rcpp")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/User/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

package ‘Rcpp’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning in install.packages :
  unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Users\User\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\file1b4848d92905\Rcpp’ to ‘C:\Users\User\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\Rcpp’

The downloaded binary packages are in
	C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpWAhEmJ\downloaded_packages

Afterwards, I try to load "ggplot2" package in R, but it doesn't gets loaded and shows the same previous command.

> library("ggplot2")
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):

In addition: Warning message:

Please do help, what should I do to resolve this issue?

The problem you have is with the Rcpp not completing properly.

Try the steps in this post:

Problems with loading ggplot2

I think the key message of the error message is there is no package called 'Rcpp' Rcpp is a dependency for ggplot2. It's saying when you try to load ggplot2, it can't because this dependency isn't installed yet. Some options: Just install the full tidyverse: http://tidyverse.tidyverse.org/#installation. This includes Rcpp. And reports to the console if there were any issues along the way. You could install Rcpp manually (and then you may have to repeat this process with each additional dependency.) And are you sure you worked through the troubleshooting suggestions here? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31717850/error-package-or-namespace-load-failed-for-ggplot2-and-for-data-table…

ning in install.packages :
unable to move temporary installation

This is likely your Anti-Virus stopping the move from the temp directory to its permanent home. It can happen in corporate environments. Try the following:
In the console type:
trace(utils:::unpackPkgZip,edit = T)

Then edit Line 140 Sys.sleep(0.5) to Sys.sleep(2)

Now try to install Rccp. Note this will only last until you restart your R session, but if you usually don’t have issues installing R packages that’s not an issue. Just remember to do that whenever you have to install an r package that is too big for your Anti-Virus to scan before R tries to move it.

I went through this trouble with unable to move temporary installation just recently, I tried all the other solutions, but none worked for me. However, what I was able to do was update my laptop, copy and paste the directory with all the packages into my other computer. Works perfect now, no more problems.

I tried this but it didn't work for me.
I guess i need more privileges to install packages in R using a work computer.
How do I explain the IT guy this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Try installing Rcpp within R (not RStudio) with administrative privilege.

On windows, right click on an R shortcut and select "run as administrator" to launch R. On linux, run R with sudo R .

If this works, then try installing ggplot2.
