Hi plotly community,

I have problems installing/using the plotly library in R, see below. I always get an error that the ggplot2 package is required. I am running the latest R-Studio version (mac). I also installed the ggplot2 package separately with the same error…

Any advice?

install.packages(“plotly”)

library(plotly)
Loading required package: ggplot2
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :

In this particular instance you’ll have to install colorspace as well. Try running install.packages("colorspace") first.
