I am on Windows 8.1 and am running R 3.2.2 in RStudio and am trying to install the package swirl. I used the command install.packages("swirl") and it installs successfully, but when I enter library(swirl), Rstudio fails to take any further action and eventually crashes.

What is causing this issue and can I fix it?

I have already tried deleting and reinstalling R, Rstudio and swirl several times without any success, nor did I find better ideas online.

post the error please..have you checked that it installed successfully.. – Dhawal Kapil Sep 20 '15 at 19:20
just do `library(swirl)` not `library(swirl_2.2.21.zip)` – Dhawal Kapil Sep 20 '15 at 19:25

library(swirl) doesn't work either. Rstudio takes the command and then after about five minutes it displays "R encountered a fatal error" – jrod1309 Sep 20 '15 at 19:33
can you also post the version of rstudio..you can view it by using cmd `rstudion::versionInfo()` – Dhawal Kapil Sep 20 '15 at 19:49
The version is 0.99.484 – jrod1309 Sep 20 '15 at 19:53
its surely going out of memory for some reason..with the same versions of R and Rstudio swirl is working for me. Try uninstalling `swirl` completely first using `remove.packages("swirl")` check in your `C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.2\library` that its removed completely. Try giving a shot again. – Dhawal Kapil Sep 20 '15 at 20:12
Will do. Thank you. – jrod1309 Sep 20 '15 at 20:13
