Tidyverse installation failing on Posit Cloud due to 404 error with rlang dependency
11:29 07 Apr 2026

I am having issues with installing the Tidyverse library on my free version of Posit Cloud, R version 4.5.3 (2026-03-11). Help is appreciated, thank you.

I receive the following two errors when I run the command: install.packages("tidyverse")

Warning: invalid package ‘/tmp/Rtmprr2mTv/downloaded_packages/rlang_1.1.7.tar.gz’
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
1: In .rs.downloadFile(url = c("http://rspm/default/__linux__/noble/latest/src/contrib/fastmap_1.2.0.tar.gz",  :
  cannot open URL 'http://rspm/default/__linux__/noble/latest/src/contrib/rlang_1.1.7.tar.gz': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
2: In .rs.downloadFile(url = c("http://rspm/default/__linux__/noble/latest/src/contrib/fastmap_1.2.0.tar.gz",  :
  some files were not downloaded
3: In utils::install.packages("tidyverse") :
  installation of package ‘rlang’ had non-zero exit status

I tried to run the library command but received an error: library(tidyverse)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’:
 .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'tidyverse', details:
  call: NULL
  error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
 there is no package called ‘rlang’

When I try to install rlang with this command, I receive a warning message this failed: install.packages("rlang")
