i am trying to install tidyverse by running install.packages("tidyverse"). it is asking whether i need to install from source or not. i choose No but it is throwing the following error.
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :

i looked at this and reinstalled Rtools. i tried installing from github also. but it is not working. how do i avoid these errors and install tidyverse. i am doing this on my work machine so it takes some time to request updated version of Rtools.
from the above mentioned source i forgot to try the options(pkgType = "binary") option. once i run that line i am able to install tidyverse.
