Hi,
The following message popped up when I tried to install package “tidyverse”. I am wondering if the package is still available. Thank you.
install.packages(“tidyverse”)

The ‘tidyverse’ package is still available, please try to update your R and Rstudio and install the package again, it worked for me. Thanks.
Hi Joonseok, thank you for your reply. I just installed R and RStudio last week. I checked Rstudio and it is the latest version. The newest R version 4.0.0 has just been release on 2020-04-24. the version I have is 3.6.3 and was released 2020-02-29. I am wondering if you always need to update to the latest version for Tidyverse to be installed?
Or do I need always to follow the release news and update them accordingly?
Hello,
I downloaded the latest version R 4.0.0 and it could not install Tidyverse either with similar warning package ‘tidyverse’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0).
Are we going to use this package extensively for the coming courses? Can I get away without installing it?
