Trouble opening RMD as stringi will not download

[noluckchar]

Hello and thank you to anyone who sees this. I am brand new to R and RStudio and have a project due in 23 hours that requires RMD. I cannot get my RMD to create sadly.

When I try to create an RMD this message occurs "Creating R Markdown documents requires an updated version of the stringi package" to which I agree with and hit yes.

Then this is what is what occurs:

Installing 'stringi' for R Markdown...
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
stringi 1.7.3 1.7.4 TRUE
installing the source package ‘stringi’

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/stringi_1.7.4.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 7599762 bytes (7.2 MB)

downloaded 7.2 MB

ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/00LOCK-stringi’

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/h8/zx8c68lx1tnfp3w0mnyywgs00000gn/T/RtmpSe5XTR/downloaded_packages’

Package 'stringi' successfully installed.
Warning message:
In utils::install.packages("stringi", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/") :
installation of package ‘stringi’ had non-zero exit status

Can anyone help me out here? I literally have no clue what I am doing and my professor has not responded to any of my messages.

Edit: I am running RStudio on a macOS incase that information is needed and my RStudio was just downloaded so it is up to date.

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation

should be answered "no" for most macOS users. That will download and install a binary version. if that doesn't work, open a terminal session and enter

$ sudo rm /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/00LOCK-stringi

but ONLY if you have a basic understanding of how command line operations work.

If you are still unsuccessful, come back. You should also consider opening a free RStudio Cloud account as an alternative or backup to your local work.
