New to RStudio, tidyverse won't load (install?)

[cupricfae]

Recently downloaded R Studio (today)

On MacOS, the version is 1.2.5019.

Simply put, my problem is that tidyverse won't install properly, and therefore won't load itself on my Mac.

My code is

install.packages("tidyverse")
library("tidyverse")

When I install I get messages like

install.packages("tidyverse")
Warning in install.packages :
  dependency ‘knitr’ is not available
also installing the dependencies ‘farver’, ‘scales’, ‘rmarkdown’, ‘ggplot2’, ‘lubridate’, ‘reprex’


  There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
          binary source needs_compilation
scales     0.4.0  1.1.0              TRUE
rmarkdown    1.0   1.17             FALSE
ggplot2    2.1.0  3.2.1             FALSE
lubridate  1.5.6  1.7.4              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation?
y/n: y
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of
  C/C++/Fortran: ‘farver’
Do you want to attempt to install these from sources?
y/n: y

So I say yes because well, not sure what it is I need so yes I'll take all of the packages R wants to give me.

But, it installs (or, tries to install) all this stuff but tidyverse as well as all the other packages (ggplot2, reprex, scales, lubridate) all say they have "non-zero exit status"

What does this mean and how do I install tidyverse properly so as to be able to load it.
When I try to load it, I get the error message:

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

Could you post the whole error message? you are omitting the important parts.

I'm only able to post one image right now since I'm a new user

here is a copypaste of the whole thing

You are having issues with the compiler, the first thing to try would be to install/update xcode in your system (this is not an R package), but if you don't need the latest versions of those packages, then you can answer "no" when asked to install from source and you will get the older binary versions that don't need compilation.

[cupricfae]

after my computer taking forever to download xcode and opening it up, I'm getting pretty much the same error message as far as I can tell

If you are going to try with xcode then answer "yes" to see if it is able to compile now.

I think you might have an old version of R installed (this is different than RStudio). I saw a reference to R 3.2 somewhere in your error messages.

The latest version of R is 3.6.1 and you can download it here: https://cran.r-project.org/

After you update R, then try installing the packages.

If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] :information_s…
