Error in library(dplyr) : there is no package called ‘dplyr’

I am trying to install dplyr package but got an error message saying

Error in library(dplyr) : there is no package called ‘dplyr’".

I am using Windows and R i386 3.5.2. I tried to fix with install.packages("Rcpp") as suggested by others but still getting error message.

In my case, dplyr hadn't installed completely the first time I tried install.packages("dplyr") and, for some reason, refused to be overwritten when I tried to reinstall it. Manually deleting the dplyr folder and then reinstalling it worked for me. I just typed dplyr into the Windows start menu, which pulled up the correct folder in the R library, then I just hit right click and delete.

What I did to solve is, I removed the package 'dplyr'

remove.packages("dplyr")

then re-installed it again!

install.packages("dplyr")

then rather calling it this way,

library(dplyr)

I called this way,

library("dplyr")

and then did tried again without those quotations and it worked(I guess)!

this problem happened to me, too. The reason is that after you run "install.packages("dplyr")", the package installed in your R library (check here: C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.1\library) is actually called "dbplyr".

So if you run library(dplyr), there should be no library under this name.

My solution is: turn off R studio, open it again. The run:

install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("dplyr")

Try install.packages("dplyr"), the double quote is important.

You dont have the package installed. To do that use : install.packages("dplyr")

Then library(dplyr)
