R错误-无法从tidyverse加载包'colorspace'

Question

I'm new to R, and am following some instructions to start exploring graphics. I have installed tidyverse, but when I try to library(tidyverse) I get the following:

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

I've gone to the colorspace page on cran and downloaded the file manually, but when I tried to install it I got this:

Installing package into 'C:/Users/Neil/Documents/R/win-library/3.5' (as 'lib' is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package 'colorspace_1.2-5.zip' is not available (for R version 3.5.1)

Does this mean I can't use colorspace at all with my (up to date) version of R, and does that mean I can't use tidyverse as a result? Or is there a way around this?

Thanks. A Newbie.

Try installing the devtools package and then run:

devtools::install_github('cran/colorspace')

This would install from Github, not CRAN.

Does that work?
