无法在R中安装“ dplyr”软件包

Question

While installing the dplyr package I am getting the error in RStudio, whereas if I am trying to install the same in R, I ma getting an error saying:

package dplyr is not available (for R version 3.5.2)

this is the error I am getting in RStudio:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘dplyr’ in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):
 DLL ‘bindrcpp’ not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?

Answer 1

Have you checked what version of R you are using? Just use the version command. If it's less than 3.5.2 you might find that libraries dplyr requires aren't being installed and that's why it's failing to find, for example, bindrcpp.

In my corporate environment I had a very similar issue trying to install dplyr after our tech support operation upgraded my PC, but installed a too-old version of R.
