Cannot install tidyverse package in R. Error there is no package called

I am attempting to install the package tidy verse in R studio and receiving these errors.

> install.packages('tidyverse')
also installing the dependency ‘rstudioapi’

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
           binary source needs_compilation
rstudioapi  0.9.0   0.10             FALSE

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.5/tidyverse_1.2.1.tgz'

The downloaded binary packages are in
    /var/folders/kn/b21xc36111z157czpz0swc900000gn/T//RtmpeVGvVh/downloaded_packages
installing the source package ‘rstudioapi’

Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : 
  there is no package called ‘assertthat’
Calls: time.to ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘rstudioapi’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/private/var/folders/kn/b21xc36111z157czpz0swc900000gn/T/RtmpeVGvVh/downloaded_packages’

In addition I've attempted to install in base R and receive the same message. I've gone to the temporary folders and unzipped the package and moved that over to the library folder. When I attempt library(assertthat) it gives me an error that there is not a valid package installed.

I've successfully installed tidyverse before on this machine, but when trying to use it this time it told me it was not installed, so I've attempted to reïnstall it.

I restarted my computer and installed devtools using install.packages("devtools").

After that I made sure to put Rtools on the PATH, simply following the instructions here: Using Rtools40 on Windows

Afterwards, I was able to install tidyverse using install.packages("tidyverse").

I deleted my .Rhistory, .Rdata, and .Rprofile files, restarted R and was able to install tidyverse with no issues.
