Cannot load tidyverse in RStudio

[RShep]

Hello,

I work with Windows and RStudio and cannot load tidyverse. I'm unsure what's causing the error and need help. This is the error message that I keep getting in RStudio:

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

I've tried all the obvious troubleshooting such as: updating RStudio (v 1.4.1717), R (v4.1.0) and all packages (including tidyverse and dplyr); restarting my laptop, RStudio and beginning a new session to no avail. I also double-checked the internet is connected and altered the primary CRAN repository to select one that's nearer to my current location, but this did not work either.

Any ideas what else I can try please???

Many thanks,
Rory

Have you tried installing the package stringi which is mentioned?

install.packages("stringi")

The answer is in this message, as suggested install.packages("stringi")

Thanks. I had initially tried that and closed down RStudio after ~15 minutes with the console still very active. I thought there was an error because the packages are usually quick to install and I was unsure if the package was truly installing.

I then tried re-installing the 'stringi' and left RStudio for an hour or so whilst I caught up on other tasks. This time the package finished installing. Tidyverse loaded without any issues afterwards.

Thanks again!
