Unable to install ggplot2

Hi,
 I have been trying to install the ggplot2 package but I am unable to do
so. My Mac OS version is 10.7.4 and I have downloaded the R-Studio-1.1.463.
I have attached the screenshot of the error message which appears.

Please help!

Thank you,
Kamalika

Please post the text version of the error in the future... your picture is almost unreadable. Also, if it is actually important that you are using RStudio then your question probably doesn't belong here. Also, if the problem is a faulty contributed package then you will need to contact the package maintainer as the Posting Guide mentioned below says.

I don't know why the dependency is not being handled correctly, but my suggestion would be to install the rlang package first, and once that is installed try installing ggplot2. Read the errors... it says there is a problem with the rlang package.

I have the same issue with ggplot2 and the rlang package, you need to
have the most updated version of the rlang library in order to get
installed ggplot2

Also, R seems to be version 3.2.x i.e. 3-4 years old. Earliest rlang is anno 2017 as far as I can tell.

rlang works with R 3.1 and up, but it does require compilation from
source, which I suspect is the root cause of this problem.
