Hey All,
I'm not sure if this is the appropraite place for this note but I just had to share. I had been having trouble installing Tidyverse since yesterday. I googled the problem and tried everything recommended.
I
-updated my version of R and Rstudio
- installed Rtools
- tried this command install.packages("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE)
- turned everything on and off again
Nothing was working for me and I came here to get advanced help. I posted my error messages in this window and took a good look. This was the first thing I saw:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:
I had just installed Rtools, so I figured that Rstudio was not using a compatible version. I went to Tools - Global Options and changed the version of R that RStudio was using and problem solved!!
I'm very proud of myself. I hope this helps someone.
Thanks.
