Cannot install ‘tidyverse’ package
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.
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?
