OK...I received an error when installing github: devtools::install_github("r-lib/usethis", force = TRUE)

package ‘rlang’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error: (converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package ‘rlang’

What can I try?

Hi @mkosmicki,

Sorry to hear that... could you try to restart R (in RStudio: Session > Restart R) then try again:

devtools::install_github("r-lib/usethis", force = TRUE)

Does this work?

Uh-oh...now it says:

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
there is no package called ‘rlang’

[mkosmicki]

OH...I installed rlang...and it appears I have success!

Hi @mkosmicki,

Very easy for me to say now that you've solved the problem, but my suspicion is that something got messed-up in the rlang installation. It sounds like you did exactly the right thing by installing it (again).

@ijlyttle I think I have successfully completed all the Day Zero tasks! The videos were a huge help!

Thanks!
