Hello. I'm new to R and am having some difficulty installing pillar (needed for dplyr). While I have most packages I need, I can't get pillar to load.
I'm not sure if this is the issue, but I have attempted to install a later version of rlang to no avail. namespace 'rlang' 0.3.4 is being loaded, but >= 0.4.0 is required
Below is the full script / error message for context.
Any ideas what I can do / where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for the reply. From what I can understand, I'm not able to update it successfully so the binary version is installed (again). I tried installing a specific version using some info I found online but had no success. I cleverly deleted my history files today while trying to start afresh so can't share the output of that exercise. Below is the message when trying to update rlang..

I thought I responded to your post but it looks like I just replied to my own. Please see my other comment (I copied in the script / error).
I'm also wondering if this could help -
I unfortunately don't understand the instructions fully.
I can run this file.edit(file.path("~", ".Rprofile"))
But then I don't understand this - "Comment out all the loaded packages." After running that line of code above, a blank .Rprofile page loads (with no text showing)..
Since you are using an older R version, to install the latest rlang version you need to install from source (not the binary version), have in mind that you need to have Rtools installed in your system (not in R) to be able to compile packages from source.
install.packages("rlang", type="source")
Alternatively, you could update R to the latest version (4.0.2) so you have access to precompiled binaries.
Also, be aware that R use to have issues with synced folders so you might want to use the system-level package library instead of your user-level library that is synced by OneDrive.
There's a hurdle for me with regards to IT / enterprise architecture (re getting a newer version of R and/or Rtools installed).
I was able to get pillar up and running. A colleague, who has pillar, also had the same version of rlang (he's been using R for longer and hadn't encountered these issues). IT copied the pillar folder from his library into mine. Quick restart of R and all was well.
I did try following your instructions. Below is the output if you're interested.
I opened Tools and tried to install from the source. I'm not entirely sure if this was Rtools as distinct from R as it opened within my R Studio window.
