tidyverse failing to load

Question

Unsure what happened, I installed tidyquant and quantmod to work with stock prices and now get the following error message

library(tidyverse)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
 namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.5 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.7 is required**

I went through and updated all my R packages and restarted R neither of which solved the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I assume the following error code is related as well when I try and run tidyquant

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : 
  namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.5 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.7 is required

Thanks again for any help

Answer 1

fully uninstalling tidyverse, rlang, tidyquant, and quantmod then reinstalling them while permanently uninstalling pixmap fixed the issue. Appreciate the suggestions given.
