Installing tidyverse on macOS

The tidyverse R package cannot be installed on macOS because one of its dependencies, ragg fails to compile with the following error:

As of today, there is a pull request resolving the issue. You can install it using the remotes package. Then, install the tidyverse package:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("alexreg/ragg", ref="fix-build")
install.packages("tidyverse")

Update

Jenny Bryan, a software engineer at Posit pointed out in the issue tracker of Tidyverse that reinstalling R with Homebrew’s --cask option may help:

brew uninstall R
brew install --cask R

With this, Tidyverse can be installed using the binary distribution.
