I don't see any error message in the output that you posted. What happens if you execute

library(tidyverse)
3

install.packages("tidyverse")
After I run the above code, it returns the below information:

package ‘tidyverse’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Again, I don't see any error message. What happens when you run

library(tidyverse)
5

After executing library(tidyverse). This is what I get,

:information_source: Use the conflicted package to force all conflicts to become errors.

Here is the complete output I get when I run library(tidyverse)

> library(tidyverse)
── Attaching core tidyverse packages ──────────────────────── tidyverse 2.0.0 ──
✔ dplyr     1.1.4     ✔ readr     2.1.5

✔ lubridate 1.9.3     ✔ tidyr     1.3.1

✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()
ℹ Use the conflicted package to force all conflicts to become errors

I think you get the same output and that you have successfully installed tidyverse.

Windows needs Rtools to install packages.
See RTools: Toolchains for building R and R packages from source on Windows

Thanks very much for the clarification. When I saw the conflict message, I thought something went amiss.
