R studio newbie installation program problems

[ryka74]

Hi,
Complete noob here studying R studio for the first time. Trying to install Mosaic to follow tutorial notes with no luck. I tried the following but don't know how to fix the error. Any help would be much appreciated keeping in mind i am extremely new at learning programming. Thanks for your time.

@ryka74

namespace ‘dplyr’ 0.8.5 is already loaded, but >= 1.0.0 is required

This is asking you to update dplyr

install.packages("dplyr")

hi- thanks for responding to my question!

I tried your recommendation and was provided with the following:

install.packages("dplr")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘dplr’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at

R Installation and Administration

Warning in install.packages :
Perhaps you meant ‘dplR’ ?

Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping .

install.packages("dplr")

The package name is "dplyr" not "dplr"

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
