I am trying to install dplyr package but got an error message saying
Error in library(dplyr) : there is no package called ‘dplyr’".
I am using Windows and R i386 3.5.2. I tried to fix with install.packages("Rcpp") as suggested by others but still getting error message.

Try install.packages("dplyr"), the double quote is important.

You dont have the package installed. To do that use :
install.packages("dplyr")
Then library(dplyr)

this problem happened to me, too. The reason is that after you run «install.packages("dplyr")«, the package installed in your R library (check here: C:Program FilesRR-3.5.1library) is actually called «dbplyr».
So if you run library(dplyr), there should be no library under this name.
My solution is: turn off R studio, open it again. The run:
install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("dplyr")

What I did to solve is,
I removed the package ‘dplyr’
remove.packages("dplyr")
then re-installed it again!
install.packages("dplyr")
then rather calling it this way,
library(dplyr)
I called this way,
library("dplyr")
and then did tried again without those quotations and it worked(I guess)!

In my case, dplyr hadn’t installed completely the first time I tried install.packages("dplyr") and, for some reason, refused to be overwritten when I tried to reinstall it. Manually deleting the dplyr folder and then reinstalling it worked for me. I just typed dplyr into the Windows start menu, which pulled up the correct folder in the R library, then I just hit right click and delete.

In today’s tutorial we will learn to troubleshoot a common error which you might encounter in RStudio, Jupyter Notebook or other R development environment when trying to use a 3rd party package.
Reproducing the no package called dplyr error
- First off, open RStudio, Jupyter or your preferred R editor.
- Call the dplyr library as shown below:
library(dplyr)
- The R Console will return the following error:
Error in library(dplyr) : there is no package called ‘dplyr’
Here’s a screenshot of the error on RStudio:
Solving the error
Let us first understand the error. Base R capabilities are installed as a prerequisite for you to use RStudio or other R editor. The dplyr package is delivered as an add on to base R.
In our case, we try to call dplyr without being installed first. How to fix that? Simply install the dplyr library before invoking it from your script:
install.packages('dplyr')
Once installation finishes, call dplyr and use it to augment your data wrangling capabilities.
library(dplyr)THe dplyr package will be available in the Packages list in RStudio.
Troubleshooting the Error in install.packages : object ‘dplyr’ not found error
A common error is to try to install dplyr using the following syntax:
install.packages (dplyr)This will trigger the following error:
Error in install.packages : object 'dplyr' not found
Fixing this is super simple: make sure to use quotation marks:
install.packages ("dplyr")
r – Error in library(dplyr) : there is no package called ‘dplyr’
Try install.packages(dplyr), the double quote is important.
‘
You dont have the package installed. To do that use :ninstall.packages(dplyr)
n
Then library(dplyr)
‘

Why is there no package called ‘X’ in library (“X”)?
Unfortunately, the RStudio console returns the error message Error in library (“X”) : there is no package called ‘X’. The reason for this is that I have not installed the caret package before loading it. In the next example, I’ll show how to solve this problem! In this example, I’ll demonstrate how to install and load a package properly.
Why is RStudio returning an error in library(“X”)?

Why is R asking me to install from source?
When both binary and source versions are available, R asks you if you want to install from source, if you answer «no» to this question, it installs the binary version. I’m already using the latest version of RStudio. You might be running the latest RStudio version but that is not the same as having the latest R version.
