[MAC] Error Installing Tidyverse in RStudio 1.1.456 (Installed through Anaconda)

Dear community,

I am new to RStudio and trying to install Tidyverse package using install.packages("tidyverse"), but I am getting some errors in the process (look below for log). Could anyone guide me through this?

Log:

install.packages("tidyverse")

.

Using RStudio through Anaconda is not recommended (or supported) because they don't usually play well together. You are restricted to the tidyverse version that is available from Anaconda repositories (Check your Anaconda Navigator)

Thank you Andres!

I managed to install it via Anaconda. I am also trying to install RPostgreSQL, but I could not find that on the Anaconda's package list, I know this is a bit off the initial topic, but would you have any advice on how I could install that package?

Thank you,
Fernando

Sorry, I don't use R through Anaconda (Using a regular independent installation is much easier) but I think there should be some walk around solution for this, I would recommend you to ask this on a Anaconda oriented forum or Stack Overflow.

BTW, If you are working with a PostgreSQL database, I find odbc() package easier to work with than RPostgreSQL and is available in Anaconda.
