Hi David,

In your example you have double quotes around your syntax, but it wont work on my computer (using windows), unless I have single quotes, is that normal? This is the code that works for me: faketucky <-read_csv ('data/faketucky.csv')

Hi David - I'm unable to load the read_csv function from tidyverse. When trying to install the tidyverse package, I get the following failure to download either the binary or source files. What's puzzling is I can download them directly in my browser but in R Studio. > install.packages("vctrs", type="binary") Installing package into ‘\pdcnt19/AikenF$/My Documents/R-local’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

There is a binary version available (and will be installed) but the source version is later: binary source vctrs 0.3.6 0.3.7

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/vctrs_0.3.6.zip' Warning in install.packages : InternetOpenUrl failed: 'The operation timed out' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/vctrs_0.3.6.zip' Warning in install.packages : download of package ‘vctrs’ failed > install.packages("vctrs", type="source") Installing package into ‘\pdcnt19/AikenF$/My Documents/R-local’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/vctrs_0.3.7.tar.gz' Warning in install.packages : InternetOpenUrl failed: 'The operation timed out' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/vctrs_0.3.7.tar.gz' Warning in install.packages : download of package ‘vctrs’ failed

I can't figure out why, but the keep throwing the following error code: Error: object 'faketucky' not found Here is what I have done:> library(tidyverse) -- Attaching packages ---------------- tidyverse 1.3.0 -- v ggplot2 3.3.3 v purrr 0.3.4 v tibble 3.1.0 v dplyr 1.0.5 v tidyr 1.1.3 v stringr 1.4.0 v readr 1.4.0 v forcats 0.5.1 -- Conflicts ------------------- tidyverse_conflicts() -- x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter() x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag() > library(skimr) > faketucky->read_csv("faketucky.csv") Error: object 'faketucky' not found > setwd("C:/Users/ArcticFox/Desktop/getting-started-master/data") > faketucky->read_csv("faketucky.csv") Error: object 'faketucky' not found

And it doesn't work if I put the arrow going in the right direction either. I have used R pretty regularly and tried several things with this, but for some reason, I really can't get it to open the file.

Hey David, It appears I am getting the common issue noted in the comments here. That "faketucky does not exist in the current working directory." I looked at your response as a way to resolve the matter but it doesn't appear that faketucky is in my Rproj by default. This is where my R session is attempting to pull the data from by default

Hi David. Tidyverse was installed and loaded. I could see and use read.csv, but not read_csv. I noticed readr wasn't listed in the packages:

> library(tidyverse) -- Attaching packages ---------------------------------------------------- tidyverse 1.3.1 -- v ggplot2 3.3.5 v dplyr 1.0.7 v tibble 3.1.2 v stringr 1.4.0 v tidyr 1.1.3 v forcats 0.5.1 v purrr 0.3.4

I was able to install and load readr separately to get around this, but is there a reason why it might not have installed with the rest of tidyverse? Could I be missing any other packages that I might need later?

Difficult having issues. I keep receiving Error: 'faketucky.csv' does not exist in current working directory ('/Users/christinemahoney/Desktop/getting-started-master').

I mostly work with very very large datasets. Are there any packages and/or tips on how to efficiently import and work with very very large datasets quickly(e.g. if parallel processing?) on the desktop?

Hi, when I run the read_csv function, the data appears in my Console not in the Environment section.

could not find function "read_csv". Looked back at error code from loading tidyverse and have this: ** Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j = 0.7.6 is required ** Seems like something is not up to date, but i'm not sure what

What is meant by "the working directory"? The main folder in the Files environment?

Hi, Im trying to import the data but I have a message saying the file is not in my current working directory ,library(tidyverse) > library(skimr) > #open up data file use code below > faketucky <-read_csv("data/faketucky.csv") Error: 'data/faketucky.csv' does not exist in current working directory

not sure how to change this?

Thank you

Hi David, I have got this text! Enter an item from the menu, or 0 to exit not pretty sure what was my mistake

Hi, I'm not sure what is going wrong here, but I am getting this error message in response to my syntax - please note that I am putting a < and then a - in the syntax, but it convert this into an arrow when I type them within this question box faketucky <- read_csv(“data/faketucky.csv”) Error: unexpected input in "faketucky <- read_csv(“"

Any ideas? Thanks!

I get this feedback anytime I try importing the faketucky data faketucky <-read_csv("data/faketucky.csv") Error: 'data/faketucky.csv' does not exist in current working directory ('C:/Users/Mrs.Mercy/OneDrive/Desktop/Nat 1').

Hi David ,

I'm unable to load read_csv function . i have the below log for your reference

Yes, that works on RStudio Desktop as well. Moving forward, though, I would work on installing packages yourself using install.packages() because you won't always get this kind of help from RStudio Desktop or Posit Cloud.

Glad it worked!
