Solution for “Error: could not find function "%>%"” when running R programs
Problem: Running into the following error when trying to run the R language code snippet below:
# Code:
heights %>%
mutate(height = round(height)) %>%
group_by(height) %>%
summarize(p = mean(sex == "Male")) %>%
qplot(height, p, data=.)
# Error:
Error in heights %>% mutate(height = round(height)) %>% group_by(height) %>% :
could not find function "%>%"
Solution: There are a number of potential solutions for this issue but what worked for me was to install the margrittr
package by running the following command in the R console:
install.packages("magrittr")
