Can not download 'ggplot2'

[euniceyachen]

Hi everyone,

I tried several way to install ggplot2 on R in Mac system, and I have download the package as it suggested, but still failed to install it. I am a beginner in R, so I have no idea how to solve it as I have read so many articles. Please give me suggestions, thank you!

Hi, that doesn't show an error.

What happens when you run library(ggplot2)?

Hi Williaml:

The message shows out like below.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
there is no package called ‘colorspace’

Try installing that pacakge: install.packages("colorspace"). Better yet, just install the tidyverse: install.packages("tidyverse").

It works when I install. Thank you so much. This really helps me
