downloading and running tidyverse package in R

Question

[bioinformatics]

Hi, I'm trying to download the package 'tidyverse' in R studio for rna seq analysis. This will allow me to transfer Kallisto results into R.

I have used the following command: install.packages("tidyverse"). However, I get the following error message when I try to run the function library(tidyverse): Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse’.

I also tried the install packages option in r studio.

If anyone knows how to install this package please let me know.

Thankyou

It would be more informative if you included the error you have when running install.packages("tidyverse")

I get the following error message:

Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse’.

Read my question carefully please, this is the error you get when running library(tidyverse)

Apologises please see below:

The error is pretty clear : "namespace 'rlang' 0.4.12 is being loaded, but >= 1.0.2 is required". You need to update rlang : install.packages("rlang")

I managed to load the package. Thanks for your help.

What operating system are you using? I had a similar problem using a Linux distribution, and it turned out that I needed to have Debian R installed instead of Ubuntu R.

I'm using R studio on a Microsoft laptop

You have not installed "tidyverse" package completely yet. It may be due to the network or proxy issues. Better to take a screenshot on error message and attach it here.

Thanks for your help. This is the error message I get after I run the command install.packages("tidyverse")
