tidyverse installation problems with macbook

[cavfan96]

I'm trying to install and call the tidyverse package on RStudio (not in Conda) on a 2017 MacBook (updated).

System Information:

• RStudio Version: 1.3.959
• OS Version: macOS Catalina 10.15.5

Here's what I see:

#REPREX

install.packages("tidyverse")

What I get:

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/contrib/4.0/tidyverse_1.3.0.tgz'

Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 432850 bytes (422 KB)

==================================================

downloaded 422 KB

The downloaded binary packages are in

/var/folders/mq/bzz01vj95w358hxs2tcc3wbr0000gn/T//Rtmpi53aau/downloaded_packages

library(tidyverse)

error I get:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):

there is no package called ‘fs’

@cavfan96

there is no package called ‘fs’

Try installing fs on its own and retry installing tidyverse.

Thanks! That did work. I had to select "no" when installing fs as there was the following code that came up but regardless this worked well, thank you!

install.packages("fs")

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
fs 1.4.1 1.4.2 TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)

Glad it worked !

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
