This is asking you to update the rlang package.

install.packages("rlang")

If you get any error message while updating rlang post it here.

And when I library ggplot2 package i get the same error message as previously:
Error in library(ggplot2) : no package named 'ggplot2' is found

The installation fails because the package is currently in use, restart RStudio and try again.
