Installing Tidyverse on a MacBook Pro #37

Open PaisleyMarie opened 5 years ago

PaisleyMarie commented 5 years ago

I have a MacBook Pro and I am trying to install library ( tidyverse) It could not find it so I went to the dropdown to install packages and found tidyverse then it went through the install prompts and i replied "y" and "y" so it went on...then in the console it says it's in a file location, etc.

Then I tried to install it again in the code chunk and it went back to error.

Did it actually install? Do I need to remove it from the code chunk?

Try closing R Studio, opening a plain R Console, then load from there. If it’s not loading, try ‘install.packages(“tidyverse”)’ and then try loading again.

Sometimes R Studio will have packages open that make it hard to install big programs like tidyverse. It’s easier in an empty R console because it won’t have dependent packages open and thus will not create an install conflict.

Great. It worked. Tinyverse is installed.
