Installing R package RWA

[research-max]

Dear GitHub,
I've downloaded the latest version of R 4.4.2 to run relative weights analysis (RWA). I've then downloaded the package file (rwa_0.0.3.zip) from https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/rwa/index.html and also stepped through the Packages->Install package(s)->rwa-OK on RStudio but can't get the rwa function to work. I get the following:

utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
trying URL 'https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/4.4/rwa_0.0.3.zip'

package ‘rwa’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\swanson\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp2jw3NX\downloaded_packages

rwa()
Error in rwa() : could not find function "rwa"
library(rwa)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rwa’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rlang', details:

error: The rlang package is not properly installed.
The DLL version does not correspond to the package version.
Please update rlang to the latest version.
Updating packages on Windows requires precautions:

Would someone be able to help me successfully install package "rwa" so I can perform the analysis I need to?
Many thanks
Steve

@research-max have you tried following the instructions to update rlang to the latest version?

Thank you very much for your response, Martin. I tried to install the rlang package that I found in the Packages tab and thought that would update it. Could you please tell me how I could correctly update rlang to the latest version? Many thanks, Steve
