Why can't I download tidycensus? - r

Question

When I try download the package tidycensus I get the following error:
> install.packages("tidycensus")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/krosi/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘ellipsis’, ‘lifecycle’, ‘tidyselect’, ‘vctrs’, ‘pillar’, ‘dplyr’, ‘rlang’
There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
ellipsis 0.3.0 0.3.2 TRUE
lifecycle 0.2.0 1.0.0 FALSE
tidyselect 1.0.0 1.1.1 TRUE
vctrs 0.2.4 0.3.8 TRUE
pillar 1.4.3 1.6.1 FALSE
dplyr 0.8.5 1.0.6 TRUE
rlang 0.4.5 0.4.11 TRUE
tidycensus 0.9.9.2 1.0 FALSE
Binaries will be installed

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Restart R and reinstall the package in a clean session: you currently have packages loaded which consequently can’t be reloaded in a newer version.
