I can't use sf package

[Mixfull]

after installing the sf package I can't use it and there is a lot of messages that came with it:

install.packages("sf")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/mx6ix/Documents/R/win-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘proxy’, ‘cpp11’, ‘e1071’, ‘wk’, ‘classInt’, ‘DBI’, ‘magrittr’, ‘Rcpp’, ‘s2’, ‘units’

You are showing normal installation messages, and apparently you have succesfylly installed sf. Can you please explain what your actual problem is? What makes you say that you can't use the sf package? Do you get any error messages when you try to load the package with library(sf)?

[Mixfull]

Thanks for your reply but after calling the library library(sf), and trying to use
P <- st_point(c(2,5)) it came this error > P <- st_point(c(2,5))
Error in st_point(c(2, 5)) : could not find function "st_point"

@Mixfull

Error in st_point(c(2, 5)) : could not find function "st_point"

It seems like the library isn't loaded, Do you get any error messages when you try to load the package with library(sf)?

Do you get the same error if you use sf::st_point(c(2, 5)) explicitly?

I get a lot of messages when I try to load the package and at the end just appears the message: The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\mx6ix\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpYVlYtT\downloaded_packages

Your are confusing "loading" with "installing" the message you mention is from installing the package, not loading.

What about specifying the package with sf::st_point(c(2, 5))?

The install.packages( ) function is used to download packages from the internet and install them in the User Library on your computer, while library( ) is used to load a package from your User Library so you can access its functions and data sets. Think of "install.package( )" as the library purchasing a book and putting it on the shelf, and "library( )" as checking the book out from the library so you can read it.

Ohhh yeah! I think you are right thank you for your help. I am not really advanced in the topic.
