Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘tidyverse’ had non-zero exit status

Question

I am using this site for reference: http://r4ds.had.co.nz/introduction.html but I am unable to install the tidyverse package. Using dependencies = TRUE did not help. What else can I do?

Answer 1

You find the answer in your error message:

------------------------ ANTICONF ERROR --------------------------- Configuration failed because libcurl was not found. Try installing:  * deb: libcurl4-openssl-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) .... .... 

Copy and paste the following to your Terminal and than try installing tidyverse again. Should solve the problem.

# Required for many packages sudo apt-get install -y libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
