HI

When I try to install dplyr package in R it shows the following error.

install.packages("dplyr")
also installing the dependencies ‘Rcpp’, ‘tidyselect’, ‘plogr’

Error in install.packages : cannot remove prior installation of package ‘Rcpp’

Can anyone help me out with this

Hi @JulieArun, not sure why you posted dplyr question in the iNEXT section. But have you tried uninstalling the Rcpp package in your computer? You can do so by remove.packages("Rcpp") and then make sure to reset R (close down and reopen) before you reinstall dplyr again.
