Issue: Trouble installing Tidyverse

beginner · September 7, 2022, 5:39pm

Hello, I'm brand new to R and coding. I'm trying to follow a tutorial that involves installing Tidyverse, but I keep getting an error. Please can I get any advice just to help me get started? THank you!

The problem is that you are using an old R version, there are no binaries of the latest package versions available for it and you do not have a compiler (RTools) installed in your system to install them from source.

I think the easiest solution for your problem would be to update R to the latest version 4.2.1, otherwise install and configure RTools40 in your system.
