Is that the complete output you get? I suspect you are omitting something since there is no useful information on the error message you have posted.

@evelynram25

package ‘stats’ does not have a namespace

The stats package is part of the base R installation, I would try completely removing and reinstalling R.

I attempted doing so yesterday but unfortunately I get the same error

Have you made sure that your system-level package library has been removed? I'm not a macOS user but on Windows, package libraries remain after uninstall.
