GGPLOT2 package not working

General

Hello,
I am trying to install ggplo2 package but having issues installing.
I used the following code and then I looked up in this community that I need to install install.packages("vctrs") so I did that but no luck.
install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)

Can someone please help me with this error

2

Can you show us the error.

This is the error when I run installation of package ‘ggplot2’ had non-zero exit status
install.packages("vctrs")
install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)

Is that the entire error message?

What version of R are you running? To find out, run the function sessionInfo() and look at the first line of the output.

7

Also, try re-installing rlang.

8

R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22)

9

Let me try that and keep you posted

This is the issue, right? As suggested by @startz

11

Yes, this is the issue

12

Tried reinstalling rlang and still no luck.

13

Try upgrading to the latest R. I don't why in particular it would cause this problem but I have seen similar errors with a down level R.

Hi，
If it wasn't an issue with the R version, I would have chosen another way to install the R package.
When I install packages failed, I will choose "pak" to install this.
It's address at github r-lib/pak：软件包安装的新方法 (github.com).

Update: I reinstalled R completed and now ggplot2 is working fine! Thank you for your help.
