I usually see this error message when I haven't installed tidyverse yet,

e.g.

install.packages('tidyverse')
library(tidyverse)

Does install.packages('tidyverse') return a success message? That is, ending with

** testing if installed package can be loaded
* DONE (tidyverse)

I could of course install tidyverse from RStudio.
However, I would like RStudio to know about the tidyverse installation
that I performed from RGui.
