Problem with package tidyverse

[Suz]

Hello everybody,

I start with R studio and I need for my exam use package "tidyverse". I installed it that was without problem but now when I want use library(tidyverse) the result is that: Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse

Do you know how I could fix it ?

Thanks for your time.

First thing is to check in the packages tab (lower right pane) to be sure it is in fact installed.

I tried this: install.packages("tidyverse")

And answer is:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

As a guess, you need to install Rtools.

You are not showing the complete console output so I can't know for sure but since you are using a very old R version and you don't have RTools installed, is very likely that some packages that require compilation are not getting installed.

Either install a suitable version of RTools (have in mind that there are specific matching R and RTools versions) or update R so you can get access to precompiled binaries that are much easier to install.
