Problem loading tidyverse package in R 3.6.2

[Banshee891]

I've been running to a problem whenever I try and load the tidyverse package in Rstudio. I'm currently using version 3.6.2.

> library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
 namespace ‘tibble’ 2.1.3 is already loaded, but >= 3.0.0 is required
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 3.6.3

I keep running into this error message every time I try and load the package and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Are you in a totally fresh environment?

How to clear the R environment

As a few people have already mentioned, to clear your global workspace, you can use rm(list = ls()) However, I would suggest if you are using this regularly, you are probably doing it wrong. Instead, I would change the settings to never save your workspace. You can do this in RStudio [rstudio] This means when you restart R via Ctrl+Shift+F10, your workspace is cleared. Under Linux, I use the following alias when accessing R via the command line: alias R="R --no-save --no-restore-data --quiet"

Try restarting R and then installing the latest version of tibble.
