R install package loaded namespace

Question

I would like to install the package plotly in RStudio and got a error message.

install.packages(\"~/Desktop/plotly_4.5.2.tar.gz\", repos = NULL, type = \"source\

Answer 1

I use devtools to install the Rcpp:

devtools::install_github("RcppCore/Rcpp")

Then the version of Rcpp has changed:

> packageVersion("Rcpp")
[1] ‘1.0.1’

And I load the tidyverse and see it is successfull.

> library(tidyverse)
── Attaching packages ─────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse 1.2.1 ──
✔ ggplot2 3.0.0       ✔ purrr   0.2.5  
✔ tibble  2.1.1       ✔ dplyr   0.8.0.1
✔ tidyr   0.8.1       ✔ stringr 1.3.1  
✔ readr   1.1.1       ✔ forcats 0.3.0  
── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()

I also faced a similar issue. I restarted the R session and reinstalled both packages.

install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("plotly")

In my case, I was not able to load dplyr package. So, first I installed Rcpp package and then installed dplyr package. This solved my problem.

sometimes you just did not restart your R studio after update. For example,

update.packages(ask=F)

After this, you should restart your R studio. Then

devtools::install_github("RcppCore/Rcpp")
