Hi,

I've been struggling for hours to solve this problem.
Here's what happens when I run install.packages("tidyverse")

install.packages("tidyverse")

also installing the dependencies ‘cli’, ‘dplyr’, ‘vctrs’, ‘dbplyr’
 There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
          binary source needs_compilation cli        3.2.0  3.3.0              TRUE dplyr      1.0.8  1.0.9              TRUE vctrs      0.4.0  0.4.1 TRUE dbplyr     2.1.1  2.2.1             FALSE tidyverse  1.3.1  1.3.2 FALSE

It seems to work perfectly. But when I run this:

library(tidyverse)

I get this:

Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse’

I tried many things from solutions I found on internet. Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Uninstall R Studio from my desktop
  • Make sure it was the most recent version
  • Change CRAN mirror. I came
    back to the default mirror. See image: enter image description
    here

I'm quite discouraged by this. I can't keep going on my
work...

If someone could help me find the solution it would be very appreciated!

I don't think I agree with this. Looking at your output:

If you look at the last three lines of this, you will see a few different errors in downloading you packages. I would start with a new R session, try installing tidyverse before loading any other packages, and if that doesn't work, try to install dbplyr by itself and see what you get.

Ok thanks for your answer. I tried what you suggested, but it doesn't seem to work either.

install.packages('dbplyr')

I believe this to be your issue: You are answering "no" to the question

Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation?

When you do this, you are saying "install cli version 3.2", but dbplyr depends on cli version 3.3.

Does answering yes to that question solve the problem for you?

This is asking you to update cli but te latest version is only available for your R version as source, so you need to choose to compile from source.

Have in mind that for compiling packages from source you need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.
https://mac.r-project.org/tools/

Another option would be to update to the latest R version (4.2.1) so you can get access to precompiled binaries.

No, I've tried that multiple times and it didn't change anything...

Hi,
I'm not sure to get what you're saying about Xcode. I'll install it but what exactly am I supposed to do after ?

Also, I just checked and I have the most recent version of R studio

This is a tool R needs to compile packages from source, it simply enables you to choose "yes" when asked if you want to install from source.

RStudio is an IDE for the R programming language but they have independent versions, you might have the latest RStudio version but you definitely do not have the latest R version. You are using a 4.0.x version whereas the latest is 4.2.1 you can download it from here
