error during the installation

i'm seeing errors during the installation of ggplot2 is due to missing or incompatible dependencies.

- i'm using R 3.6, and many packages now require a newer version, and i want to update it to a new version but i don't n=know how because i downloaded from anaconda

To upgrade your R version within Anaconda (conda environment), follow these clear steps:

Step 1: Check available R versions
Open your Anaconda prompt (or terminal) and run: 

conda search r-base

Step 2: Upgrade R version
To update R to a recent version (e.g., R 4.3), use:
conda install -c conda-forge r-base=4.3
(Replace 4.3 with the exact version you prefer.)

Step 3: Update other R packages
After updating R, reinstall common packages to ensure compatibility:
conda install -c conda-forge r-ggplot2 r-tidyverse

Step 4: Verify R installation
Launch R and check the current version:
