Hi! I tried to install tidyverse in my R studio , but it shows couples of error !

install.packages("tidyverse")

Blockquote

also installing the dependencies ‘gargle’, ‘openssl’, ‘googledrive’, ‘googlesheets4’, ‘httr’, ‘rvest’

There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
gargle 0.4.0 1.2.0 FALSE
openssl 1.4.1 2.0.2 TRUE
googledrive 1.0.0 2.0.0 FALSE
googlesheets4 0.1.1 1.0.0 FALSE
httr 1.4.1 1.4.3 FALSE
rvest 0.3.5 1.0.2 FALSE
tidyverse 1.3.0 1.3.1 FALSE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)
installing the source packages ‘gargle’, ‘openssl’, ‘googledrive’, ‘googlesheets4’, ‘httr’, ‘rvest’, ‘tidyverse’

Since you are using a very old R version (this is different than your RStudio version) you are forced to install the latest package versions from source, for doing that, you need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.
https://mac.r-project.org/tools/

Besides that, you are also missing a system dependency

You need to install openssl in your system, if you have Homebrew you can do it with this command from a system terminal

brew install openssl

I would strongly recommend updating your R version though, you can download the latest version from here.
