Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace

I'm getting the following error when I'm loading tidyverse. It was all working fine a few minutes ago when I was running my shinyapp. How should I resolve this?

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): namespace ‘rlang’ 0.3.0.1 is already loaded, but >= 0.3.1 is required

I encountered the same error, but none of the solutions mentioned above worked. Instead, I resolved it by manually removing the 'cli' module, which was causing the error, from the folder where my packages for the version of R that I was using installed. You can use .libPaths() to help locate the directory where the packages are installed.

I faced this same problem and restarted R session and it worked fine after that.

Start with install.packages("devtools") then install.packages("rlang").

I have just encountered the similar problem.

The error could translate into understandable English as:

package 'rlang' version 0.3.0.1 is loaded into R successfully, but the other package that based on 'ralng' required a higher version (at least 0.3.1).

So that manually install.packages('rlang') will update the latest appropriate package 'rlang'

In addition to unloading and reloading rlang,

Click on Tools in the tab and check for Package Updates to update tidyverse

Also had similar problem but resolved it after a struggle. I used:-

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/tidyverse")

I had the same problem but managed to tackle it. You may remove the current version of rlang using the following command:

remove.packages("rlang")

and then install the rlang again:

install.packages("rlang")

After that run the library:

library(tidyverse)
