Hello! I have been trying to run Rcmdr through R studio by inputting library (Rcmdr) and then running it, but I have been getting an infinite loop of error messages. I re-downloaded the application many times, which is the most recent one. I have downloaded XQuartz, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the Rcmdr and RcmdrMisc packages many times. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.
I have a Mac, btw.
Hi, welcome to the forum
Please do not send screenshots. They are difficult to work with. Your screenshot looks like it is obscuring parts of the error messages.
It is much better to copy the output and paste it here between
```
```
Did you see any errors or warnings when doing the installations?
Can you supply us with the output of
sessionInfo()
Again paste between
```
```
This gives us formatted code that is easy to read.
As a bit of a long shot, but something that won't hurt, you may wantte reset RStudio Desktop's State It is not affected by anything you have been doing.
Oh, sorry, because the output keeps running over and over. I am unable to paste directly from RStudio, but this is the message I am seeing that is running in loops.

Thank you for your help!At a first look, it appears the problem may be coming from a missing package tile
Here is the first error message
error reading package index file /Library/Frameworks
/R.framework/Versions/4.4-arm64/Resources/library/tcltk2/tklibs/
ttk Themes
/p kgIndex.tcl: can't find package tile
My problem is that I cannot find any package {tile}. From the error message I have been assuming it is a R package but a closer look suggests it may be something from ttk Themes.
This is where I am getting out of my depth as we seem to be edging into Python territory and I know just about zero about Python.
However I a)have Python installed and b) was able to install Rcmdr.
Do you have Python on your machine? If not , try installing it and see it has any effect.
Sorry not to be of more help.
Hi, I downloaded Python, and it's still not working; I have also tried to find the tile package, but I don't see it along with the ttk Themes package.
Thank you for trying; I appreciate it!
I am at a loss.
You may be running into a specifically Mac issue and I'm purely Linux.
I'm sorry I could not help.
