Problem loading tidyverse: Incompatible library version: readxl.so requires version 3.5.0 or later, but libR.dylib provides version 3.4.0

I got this error when installing tidyverse, how to solve it? I re-installed Rstudio and updated it. Thanks.

library(tidyverse)

Try updating your packages with

update.packages(repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/', ask=FALSE, checkBuilt=TRUE)

It looks like you're using R 3.5, but it's trying to load an old version of tidyverse from 3.4. Because of changes in the 3.5 upgrade, these aren't compatible. I'd recommend installing tidyverse afresh!
