Cannot load 'vctrs' package following installation from CRAN

[CSheehan1]

Hi, I'm very new to RStudio and have been unable to install ggplot2 to my library. I believe the problem is I cannot install the dependency "vctrs" package. I have been trying to install this from CRAN, but keep getting the following error that loading has failed. Any advice on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
