Hello everyone,
I know, there are several other threads regarding this topic, but unfortunately none of them could help me.
I am using the desktop version of RStudio (latest version) and wanted to install the ggplot2 package.
After receiving an error I followed the instructions of other posts in this forum and installed RTools40. I followed the instructions and added RTools to my path:
Sys.getenv("PATH")
[1] "C:\rtools40\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.2\bin\x64;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\25\JRE\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Mplus Demo\;C:\Users\Anni\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;"
It also didn't work after that, so I followed another instruction and did this (like described here: Rtools not found after R 4.0.0 installation) :
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste(Sys.getenv("PATH"),
"C:\RTools40",
"C:\RTools40\mingw64\bin",
sep = ";"))
Now my path looks like this:
Sys.getenv("PATH")
[1] "C:\rtools40\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.2\bin\x64;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\25\JRE\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Mplus Demo\;C:\Users\Anni\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;;C:\RTools40;C:\RTools40\mingw64\bin"
Unfortunately, I still cannot install ggplot2. Now I receive the following errors:
install.packages("ggplot2")

Does anyone have an idea what else I can do? I am a bit desperate here...
