I receive this error when I type library(swirl): Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : there is no package called ‘yaml’ Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘swirl’

[justincherveny]

I have already tried

install.packages("swirl")

and

install.packages("swirl", dependencies=TRUE)

and

install.packages("evaluate")

which were recommended from the February class. I am still getting that error, though. Any ideas? thanks very much,

Update/Note: I didn't have any problem actually downloading the packages. It's just when I type library(swirl) that I get the problem. I have checked my directory and it's pointed at the right folder. I even extracted the files from each zip file myself into the same folder and it didn't work.

The key phrase from the error is there is no package called ‘yaml’. See if install.packages("yaml") helps. For some reason swirl's dependencies weren't installed correctly.

Thanks for getting back to me! Actually I figured out what happened.

First of all your response makes sense. I was basing my troubleshooting on other people's posts for errors containing "there is no package called 'evaluate'" and didn't put 2 and 2 together that there was an 'evaluate' folder.

I actually DID successfully install the yaml folder, but I didn't 'extract all' from the folder. Once I extracted all, library(swirl) works. Thank you!

[ncarchedi]

Okay, great. Let us know if you run into any more issues.

Thank you for posting this response. I was having trouble getting swirl to run, but taking your advice, I installed the one package that seemed to be missing (crayon) and was on my way to using swirl! Great tool!

I get a problem in loading car package:
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
there is no package called ‘minqa’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘car’

Any one had such type of problems

[seankross]

Have you tried installing minqa on your own?

[HuruyBelay]

Thanks a lot I tried and it worked.
