Your Turn
Working in the console, install the Tidyverse package using the code install.packages("tidyverse")
Check in the Packages tab on the bottom right panel to confirm that the tidyverse package has been installed successfully.
If you get any messages from R about conflicts when loading packages, don't worry about them for now.
Also, if you are a Windows user and get messages about downloading RTools, you can safely ignore these as well. You should not need RTools to install packages used in this course.

There are thousands and thousands of R packages. What this means is that, if you ever wonder, can I do that in R, the answer is probably yes!

It's saying I need Rtools, shoots out a bunch of red warnings, but then goes and installs it. Do I need Rtools?

R Studio doesn't allow me to download the tidyverse package and I don't understand why. This is the error I get: Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘tidyverse’ had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in ‘/private/var/folders/m_/62m1vj2s6kv38gftkylyntq00000gn/T/RtmploZN0U/downloaded_packages’

Can you please try again today and let me know if you have better luck? There were some issues yesterday with installing packages that should be resolved now.
