Unable to install tidyverse on R Studios

[belensosa]

Hi, I am having some issues installing tidyverse on R Studios. I have a chromebook and was able to install R, I am also able to open datasets and use the installed packages. However, when i run the "install.package(tidyverse) an error shows up. I leave below a chunk of the error:

I don't see any error here. It seems it started downloading dependencies.
You might want to install the packages from R and not R-studio because R-studio loads some packages on start for lazy use and it could disrupt the installation.

@JonesYaniv RStudio does not load any packages on startup, so if packages are loaded at startup, they are loaded by R, from .Rprofile, most probably.

@belensosa It seems like you didn't include the part(s) of the output where the packages actually failed to install, most likely the xml2 and/or the ragg package, because these are the ones that require system packages.

Which system packages are needed depends on your Linux distribution. The pak packge (install from ) can tell you what they are, e.g. this is for Ubuntu 22.04:

> pak::pkg_sysreqs("tidyverse")
── Install scripts ───────────────────────────────────────────── Ubuntu 22.04 ──
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev make pandoc \
  libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libicu-dev \
  libfontconfig1-dev libfribidi-dev libharfbuzz-dev libxml2-dev

── Packages and their system dependencies ──────────────────────────────────────
curl        – libcurl4-openssl-dev, libssl-dev
data.table  – zlib1g-dev
fs          – make
haven       – make, zlib1g-dev
knitr       – pandoc
openssl     – libssl-dev
ragg        – libfreetype6-dev, libjpeg-dev, libpng-dev, libtiff-dev
reprex      – pandoc
rmarkdown   – pandoc
sass        – make
stringi     – libicu-dev
systemfonts – libfontconfig1-dev, libfreetype6-dev
textshaping – libfreetype6-dev, libfribidi-dev, libharfbuzz-dev
xml2        – libxml2-dev

Also, if you use pak to unstall packages, then the system packages are automatically installed, if you use the root user or sudo without a password:

pak::pkg_install("tidyverse")

Thanks, I was able to fix it
