Instillation difficulties

[maccodenm]

Hi,

I am sorry if this is a stupid question I am relatively new to Rstudio and github.

I have tried installing the sitar package but whenever i try to load it from the library it says : Error in library(sitar) : there is no package called ‘sitar`.

There are various errors which I have tried to remedy that appear during the instillation process. I have tried the following.

1. Runing Rstudio as an administrator
2. Installing the newest version of Rtools.
3. Reinstalling dplyr and rsample.
4. Installing from both source and cran binary.

I don't feel it is a more general error because other packages are downloading and running fine. Has anyone else experienced this or what would next steps be?

The full instillation text is below:

Any help appreciated thanks,

Hi Niall,

I think your sitar problem is part of a wider issue with permissions. If you read through the installation text you'll see that the process is failing multiple times: rlang, vctrs and dplyr compile ok but fail to install as they can't remove the previous version, so they stay with the previous version. rsample and sitar don't need compiling, but rsample fails to load because dplyr has not been updated, so the process fails before even trying to install sitar.

How did you install R and RStudio - did you use homebrew or CRAN? I know that homebrew can mess up permissions, which looks to be your problem. Unfortunately I don't know how you go about fixing them - try some googling.

Best wishes, Tim
