Issue Installing Packages and Administration

[warner1323]

Hello,
I am new to R and coding in general. I have tried several times to load packages in Rstudio and everytime it doesn't work. I have attached a screenshot to show what it says.

I have looked at previous discussion boards and the said this was prebinary package and I just had to open the prebinary package but I cannot find it/what it is called to run it.

I also saw something about running Rstudio as an administator. This is my personal computer so I should have administration privileges on it. When I go to right click and click run as administrator as other have suggested that is not an option I have.

Any help is welcome.

Thank you,
Amanda

The error message you are showing is telling you that you are missing the fansi package, which is a dependency for tidyverse, so, you have to install it first.

install.packages("fansi")

When I go to right click and click run as administrator as other have suggested that is not an option I have.

That option is only applicable for Windows systems, not for macOS or other Unix based operating systems. I'm not a macOS user so I don't know how to do it using the graphical interface but the equivalent would be to execute the program with sudo rights.
