R Studio Server Error while installing dplyr package

[Babs]

Hi everyone!
I am trying to update the dplyr package up to 0.8.0 version on my R studio server but I am not able to do it.
I need it updated for other packages that otherwise I will not be able to update.
I tried to install dplyr package either with "dependencies = TRUE" and "dependencies = FALSE" (and trying to install dependencies manually ), but nor of them worked.

Do you have any suggestion?
Hope someone could help me!

Here the message:

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but it seens various package versions are in conflict with each other. If you like to have the latest versions, I suggest you update the whole Tidyverse instead of just dplyr.

install.packages("tidyverse")

This way all dependencies should be updated correctly I think.

Hope this helps,
PJ

Hi Pieter,
I've already tried to update the whole Tidyverse but it didn't work.
I think is an issue related to the R version installed on R studio server.
Thank you anyway

in your position I would probably try to revert to rlang version 0.3.1 as that was the version that dplyr 0.8 required as a minimum on its release in February of 2019. I used MRAN's 'CRAN time machine' to determine that.

using renv package to install a particular version would be straightforward. i.e.
renv::install("rlang@0.3.1")

However, I'm guessing it would be better for you to upgrade your r version and then reinstall the most recent versions of everything,
