Thanks, in advance.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us what your OS asd RStudio velsios are?
Also would you supply us with the output of

sessionInfo()

Also, I can think of two R packages, {pak} and {pacman} that are intended to help facilitate smooth package installation. You might want to install one or both and see if either helps.

Many thanks for this--- I had uninstalled and reinstalled RStudio multiple times without it working--- Turned out I had to (re)install R first, then RStudio. I'm all set now. Thank you again!

Great. Good to hear it.

Something else I forgot that often helps with weird problems of many sorts is resetting RStudio Desktop's State.
