Unable to install maps package in R

[owuor]

Hello,

I am still very new t R and I am trying to create a map dashboard I started by using the following code:

map_data(world)

and this is what I get in the terminal

map_data(world_bank_pop)
The package "maps" is required for map_data().
Would you like to install it?
