Errors in RStudio

[anwesha]

Hi there,

I have been using R for over a year now. I needed to translate RMarkdown to Latex and pdf, so I was just playing with tinytex. All of a sudden, I started getting fatal errors and R sessions got aborted. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled R and R Studio twice. Unfortunately, I am still getting errors, despite uninstalling tinytex. I am quite taken aback by these errors since these never happended before
. Please help me, I desparately need to fix this issue for my projects. I am attaching a screenshot of the error from RStudio console.

All of a sudden, I started getting fatal errors and R sessions got aborted.

You are not showing any session crash errors just a package installation error that is asking you to update the rlang package, for that specific error try updating the package with this command:

install.packages("rlang")

If you get an error while doing this, please post the complete console output you get.

BTW, please do not post screenshots, they are considered a bad practice here, post formated code instead. Here is how to do it:

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. …

install.packages("rlang")

@andresrcs Thank you so much. To be honest, I am still quite new to programming and I got nervous. My apologies about the screenshot. You suggestion really helped and solved the problem. At that time, I didn't know that it is a bad practice and also the alternative way. Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to do better next time.
