Hi @Antriksh_walia123 , welcome to the community. The first thing I would do is to re-install the package by usinginstall.packages("tidyverse") and then try to load the package again with library(tidyverse). My guess is that an installed filed was corrupted in your current installation, thus the error message.

It looks like you might just have erroneous quotes. You install packages with quotes, but add them to the library without quotes:

install.packages(“tidyverse”)
library(tidyverse)

There's nothing wrong with using quotes in library('tidyverse'). It's just that they can be omitted.

The issue is likely a corrupted installation as mentioned above.
