I get this error message when installing tidyverse
I write:
install.packages("tidyverse")
Return message:
Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'curl/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
I manage to install many other packages. Do anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?
Thanks
Jan
Sometimes weird errors like this occur. Did you try installing curl by itself?
install.packages("curl")
Still does not work
install.packages("curl")

I can however install other packages without problem
Do you have R 3.6?
You could remove.packages on curl, then restart your machine and try again.
Yes 3.6.1
Uninstalled and installed R and Rstudio again now. Didnt help.
How to remove packages on curl? I do not understand this sentence

It looks like you are only getting part of the download. I am getting 3.9 MB and you are getting 596 KB
This post suggest you might need to remove some stuff from your library first.
" Check in .../R/win-library/3.6/ for curl (remove or move out of the way if present) and/or any directories starting with 0 (temporary dirs during installation process)."
Deleted the entire library but did not help. It cannot find curl package but still produce issues when I try to install
remove.packages("curl")

I wonder if it's because you are storing your packages in /Documents/. I have R and packages directly on the C drive.
C:\R\R-3.6.1\library\curl
