Error in install.packages : Updating loaded packages

this is the message it shows as and when I ask for install package

[Gabor]

Sorry, I meant the full command that you type and the full output you get. E.g. for me it is like this:

❯ install.packages("devtools")

The downloaded binary packages are in
	/var/folders/ph/fpcmzfd16rgbbk8mxvy9m2_h0000gn/T//RtmpPppi7t/downloaded_packages

❯

Also, please don't forget the output of sessionInfo().

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE

This should help me to
install-github("vqv/RQDA) it is not installing.
I thought may be devtools is not installed properly so i could install RQDA
