Can't install or update packages

Hi everyone,

I am not able to install or update any packages in R studio version 1.1.383. I am on macOS Mojave. This is the error message I get when I try to download or update any packages.

Warning in strptime(xx, f <- "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS", tz = tz) :
unknown timezone 'zone/tz/2019c.1.0/zoneinfo/America/Montreal'

I would try to install first package Rcpp because you have an error
namespace ‘Rcpp’ 0.12.13 is being loaded, but >= 1.0.0 is required

If this does not work (what is probable if you can't install any package) I can not help you further because I am not familiar with your operating system.

I see that your version of RStudio is not very current. Is it possible to update to a newer version?
For anyone advising you it would also be interesting to know your version of R.

Yeah. You should probably update your R and Rstudio.

Hi,

Thank you for you responses.

I just updated RStudio and R and I have the exact same error message.

I don't know what to do ...

What happens when you try to update Rcpp? Do you get any error message?

install.packages("Rcpp")

Thank you everyone, it is solved!

R was not installed, just RStudio was

I feel dumb
