ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'TStools'

Question

I'm trying to install the package TStools for R. I have tried all the suggestion I've found so far through googleing, but nothing works. I get every time the same exact error:

Please, take into account that TStools is different from tstools: I was able to install the later without problems. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Looks like you have libraries compiled with different versions of R in your library folder. The error message is very clear:

Error: (converted from warning) package 'forecast' was built under R version 3.6.3

Remove the forecast folder from C:/Users/perep/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/ and try reinstalling TStools again.

If this doesn't work, you should probably try to compile forecast from source (though under Windows this is a bit more tricky and you need Rtools for that), or eventually upgrading to R version 3.6.3 and try installing TStools there.
