No more library(nycflights13)

[kaitietidiesdata-hub]

I'm not seeing a package called nycflights13 in my R!

[mine-cetinkaya-rundel]

Are you able to install it first with

install.packages("nycflights13")

I would recommend running the code at https://r4ds.hadley.nz/intro.html#other-packages to install all the required packages.

Thank you so much for your quick reply! I downloaded the package, but still am having issues even using the View or Glimpse function to open it... Other ideas to troubleshoot? Thanks!

Once you install the package, have you also loaded it with

library(nycflights13)

After that you should be able to view the data in the package.

I have also used the library function, but unfortunately still haven't been able to use the Glimpse or View function to see it. I think my R Studio is up to date, but are there any other issues that could be going on? Happy to also share my script

Hi, could you run this diagnostic script and share the output? It will help us pinpoint exactly where the process is failing:

# --- PHASE 1: Installation & Library Integrity ---
cat("--- 1. VERIFYING PACKAGE PATHS ---\n")
if (!requireNamespace("nycflights13", quietly = TRUE)) {
  cat("ERROR: nycflights13 is NOT installed. Attempting installation...\n")
  install.packages("nycflights13")
} else {
  cat("SUCCESS: nycflights13 is installed in:", find.package("nycflights13"), "\n")
}

# --- PHASE 2: Namespace Resolution ---
cat("\n--- 2. TESTING DATA ACCESS ---\n")
library(nycflights13)
library(dplyr)

# Check if 'flights' object exists in the search path
if (exists("flights")) {
  cat("SUCCESS: 'flights' dataset found. Dimensions:", dim(flights), "\n")
} else {
  cat("ERROR: Package loaded but 'flights' object not found. Try explicit call.\n")
}

# --- PHASE 3: Functional Execution ---
cat("\n--- 3. TESTING GLIMPSE/VIEW ---\n")
tryCatch({
  # Common User Error: View(nycflights13) instead of View(flights)
  dplyr::glimpse(nycflights13::flights)
  cat("SUCCESS: glimpse(flights) executed.\n")
}, error = function(e) {
  cat("FAILURE: glimpse() failed with error:\n")
  print(e)
})

# --- PHASE 4: Dependency Check (dplyr) ---
if (!"package:dplyr" %in% search()) {
  cat("\nWARNING: 'glimpse' requires dplyr. Loading now...\n")
  library(dplyr)
}

Here is what I got: WARNING: 'glimpse' requires dplyr. Loading now... Attaching package: ‘dplyr’ The following objects are masked from ‘package:stats’: filter, lag The following objects are masked from ‘package:base’: intersect, setdiff, setequal, unionWarning message: package ‘dplyr’ was built under R version 4.5.3
