You've successfully loaded pryr. Congratulations!

The message is telling you that you have an object f in your global environment. There is also a function called f that is exported by pryr. If you try to use this function, you may end up referring to your own f instead, causing problems. To disambiguate, you can use pryr::f to refer to the f in pryr.
