trying to install and load skimr and getting:

> skim(mtcars) Error in skim(mtcars) : could not find function "skim" > skim(mtcars) Error in skim(mtcars) : could not find function "skim"

I have some Conflicts with Tidyverse. Do I need to worry about these? How do I resolve them?

-- Conflicts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tidyverse_conflicts() -- x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter() x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()

Should we occasionally check for package updates?

Hi David, I have two warning messages installing the packages:

-- Conflicts --------------------------------------------- tidyverse_conflicts() -- x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter() x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag() Warning message: package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 4.0.4 > library(skimr) Warning message: package ‘skimr’ was built under R version 4.0.4

Let me know what is that means and if I can continue despite them. Thanks!

When I run the library command, I get the following error message, any suggestions on how to resolve this issues? library(tidyverse) Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): namespace ‘ellipsis’ 0.3.1 is already loaded, but >= 0.3.2 is required In addition: Warning message: package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 4.0.5

Hi David,

Here is the error I am getting:

> skim(mtcars) Error in skim(mtcars) : could not find function "skim" > library(skimr) Error in library(skimr) : there is no package called ‘skimr’

Thanks for advising.

I'm having trouble with opening the exercises.R file. The script keeps informing me that "this version of R is unavailable on your cpu. You need to download r.tools." In particular, I get this: WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

I got this error while installing tidyverse pkg ERROR: dependencies ‘googledrive’, ‘googlesheets4’, ‘httr’, ‘rvest’, ‘xml2’ are not available for package ‘tidyverse’. How to resolve?

After I attempt to execute the library command for skimr I am not getting anything. The package successfully unpacked so it was no problem with that. Why is this happening?

Hello, posting the question from the live session here as we discussed. I was able to install both packages, but when I tried to load the skimr package I got this error message. Thanks in advance!

> library(skimr) Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘skimr’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called ‘xfun’

Can I press "Run" whilst it is running? Do I need to press "Run" after every line, or can I install it together?

Is there anyway to get a list of the packages you already have installed?

I'm having trouble loading tidyverse after install.

Any suggestions?

Hi, when I run library (Tidyverse), I got: > library(tidyverse) -- Attaching packages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tidyverse 1.3.1 -- v ggplot2 3.3.5 v purrr 0.3.4 v tibble 3.1.6 v dplyr 1.0.7 v tidyr 1.1.4 v stringr 1.4.0 v readr 2.1.1 v forcats 0.5.1 -- Conflicts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tidyverse_conflicts() -- x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter() x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()

will I have problems with these conflicts? Many thanks in advance for your help

Hi. I get the following error:

I went in and installed ellipsis, vctrs and Rcpp. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi David,

When I tried to run tidyverse I get the following message: Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): there is no package called ‘dplyr’

I then ran install.package("dplyr") and got the following error:

How should I go about rectifying this? Thanks!

Thanks, that worked but got conflict messages on tidy verse. Didn't worry for now.

Hi! Thanks for sharing this. I got this when I was trying to load skimr

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

Hi, I've looked through all the previous comments and I don't seem to see my exact one here

With install.packages("tidyverse") I get:

Error in loadNamespace(j = 3.3.0 is required Calls: ... namespaceImportFrom -> asNamespace -> loadNamespace Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'dbplyr'

• removing 'C:/Users/sq37/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/dbplyr' Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘dbplyr’ had non-zero exit status

Then with > library(tidyverse) I get Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called ‘dbplyr’ In addition: Warning message: package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 4.0.5

I tried install.package("dbplyr") as that seemed to be what helped other people here, but all that I got there was

Error in loadNamespace(j = 3.3.0 is required Calls: ... namespaceImportFrom -> asNamespace -> loadNamespace Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'dbplyr'

Any ideas?

> library(tidyverse) Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): there is no package called ‘stringi’

Getting this error message. Please advise, thank you!

I have a couple of naive queries

1. Install function connects to internet and downloads from a central server, is that right?
2. Loading a package doesnt need internet, it is similar to installing a software offline after it is being downloaded. is that right?
3. where are the downloaded packages saved in the computer exactly? if we install same thing in different projects, does it happen twice, one over writing others or only once. I have installed tidyverse during prev video of script writing, even before you gave the instruction to do so in exercise.R file.
4. How does one know that the installation is complete? I have installed "skimr" but when I run library function, nothing is happening, I suspect issue with installation. please clarify

I have some conflicts in my loaded packages. Can you explain what they mean? Pasting the console output below:

library(skimr) > library(tidyverse) ── Attaching packages ──────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse 1.3.2 ── ✔ ggplot2 3.3.6 ✔ purrr 0.3.4 ✔ tibble 3.1.7 ✔ dplyr 1.0.9 ✔ tidyr 1.2.0 ✔ stringr 1.4.0 ✔ readr 2.1.2 ✔ forcats 0.5.1 ── Conflicts ─────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ── ✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter() ✖ dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag() > library(skimr) >

Hi Charlie and David,

I apologise, I can't seem to reply to our thread. Thank you so much for your input on my previous messages! I checked the packages and they still were not installed. I decided to start from the beginning: uninstalled everything, reinstalled and started the course from the start. And it worked! I must have done something wrong first time round, but all fixed now. Thanks again for all your help!

I am unable to load the library for tidyverse or skimr. I am in the exercises.r file working with the project. I have placed the correct syntax for installing the packages (not sure if it worked) and continue to get an "Error in library (skimr) : there is no package called 'skimr'" in the console box after trying to run it - using the run button. What might be the problem?

skimr can not downloaded due to invailability

I believe I have both tidyverse and skimr installed, but got this message when trying to load them:

When loading tidyverse, I get this message.

Hi. I keep getting the following message in red: WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/

The thing is, I installed Rtools yesterday as part of one of the earlier lessons. Perhaps I biffed it? Is there a way for me to check the status of my Rtools installation?

I've gotten this message (in red) several times but it hasn't impacted my ability to do stuff (yet). I know you said windows users "might" have to download R tools. Should I do that or does it matter? WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:
