R: Error in library. Downloaded package doesn't exist

I installed the tidymodels package with install.packages("tidymodels") and then called the package with library(tidymodels). This results in an error Error in library(tidymodels) : there is no package called ‘tidymodels’

What is the matter?

R gives a message like this in the process

This is the error message I see in the output

Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : 
  there is no package called 'future.apply'
Calls: <Anonymous> ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart
Execution halted

Also, this confusing warning message appears WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding: But Rtools is not available for my version of R (4.1.2)

RTools 4.0 is for R 4.0.0 to R 4.1.3
