Error installing tidyverse

[james_789]

Hi

Completely new R user, following "R for Data Science."

I installed R, then RStudio. Subsequently tried to instal the tidyverse, and was given a prompt to install Rtools. Subsequently downloaded Rtools, now when I try to download tidyverse I get the code below (had to remove several lines of code as I'm only permitted 2 URLS in a post as a new user. In reality, I have many lines of "trying URL" ... etc.)

What's going wrong? Thanks

You are omitting the important parts of the error message, try to post the whole message, you could avoid the link limit problem by formatting the error message as code by enclosing it between three backticks like this.

FAQ: How to format your code

Formatting Code: the Basics All code or console output you include in your posts should be formatted properly. Luckily, this is very easy to do! Just use the code formatting button at the top of the post editing box: [image] Select some code Click the </> button! The code formatting button automatically adds special Markdown formatting symbols to whatever you selected. If you check the preview pane to the right of your post, you'll see that the forum software now outputs nicely formatted code . [04] The code formatting button is pretty smart! It can tell the difference between snippets of code that are part of a sentence and blocks of code that stand alone. …

So far you are not showing any error messages (just normal installation messages), have in mind that you are missing a lot of dependencies so installing all this is going to take a while, maybe you just have to be a little more patient.
