Can you post the whole error message you get when you try to install ggplot2? It seems to me like you are omitting some important parts.

Also, please post it as formatted code to make it easier to read, here is how to do it

I have same problem when i want to install packages.
I try to solve installing Rtools in the path where R installer

C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.3\bin\x64

but there is new warning

WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but the version of Rtools previously installed in C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/bin/x64/rtools40 has been deleted.

I don't know how to do now

I mean, even the installation package procedure keep working, but in the end the installation failed

[andresrcs]

Rtools40 is for being used with R 4.0.0 for your R version you need Rtools35
