Error in loadNamespace: cli >= 2.0.2 is required

[yuhanczhang]

I was trying to install a library from GitHub in R Studio and I encountered such an error:

> devtools::install_github("haleyjeppson/ggmosaic")
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : namespace ‘cli’ 2.0.0 is already loaded, but >= 2.0.2 is required

I was wondering what this means and how I should solve this problem. Thanks!

The easiest workaround is running install.packages("cli") before you call the devtools command.

Hi Jim,

I tried
install.packages("cli")y
if (!require("devtools")) { install.packages("devtools") }
if (!require("datarobot.pe.clustering")) { devtools::install_github("datarobot-community/pe-clustering-R", build_vignettes=TRUE) }

but i'm still getting namespace ‘cli’ 2.2.0 is being loaded, but >= 2.4.0 is required

Thank you

install.packages("cli") solves my problem

I also had that issue, I had to remove the cli package because it wasn¿t updating correctly, then I re-installed it and everything worked just fine.

In my case I installed the "cli" package but I keep getting the same error. Advice?

@sandramacheri2498 The entry-level advice is to make absolutely 100% sure that, after a confirmed successful re-installation of cli, that you also re-start R, making sure that it's a complete clean restart.

Just the same issue.
I couldn't manage to update it. I was getting the warning: cannot remove prior installation of package ‘cli’).

So I first removed the package:
remove.packages("cli")

then installed it again:
install.packages("cli")

Thanks so much- uninstalling and reinstalling cli helped me after an hour of swearing :)

It worked!

Thank you for this. I think the issue is after installing "cli" try to restart the R. it works well for me with that.

Hi,

I have everything updated and installed 100% however, I was trying to use this to extract a file that I found and received the following output:

Please wait...
This depends on your internet connection speed and 'size' of content.

Error in str_match(css, el_re) :

Just to add in case its useful but uninstalling and re-installing cli didn't work for me but then updating to latest version of RStudio seems to have fixed it

[chinedu2301]

remove cli and re-install it. That should help. remove.packages("cli") and afterwards install.packages("cli")

[idirdehmous]

remove cli
reinstall it , if another package is loading it , be sure that you have loaded cli first
