Hi,

1. Always use BiocManager::install() which is the only safe way to install Bioconductor packages. In particular you should never install Bioconductor packages from GitHub.
2. You're using R 4.0.5. You need to use the latest R version (4.1.2) to use the latest version of Bioconductor (3.14).
3. Always use R and install packages from your regular user account.

And also:

4. Always show your sessionInfo().

Thanks,
H.

It's not clear to me what "that" is. Can you clarify what you failed to install, how you tried to install it, and what error message you got?

You've apparently managed to switch to the current version of R (4.1.2) and to install BiocManager but have you tried to install GenomeInfoDb again with BiocManager::install("GenomeInfoDb")?

Please don't assume that people will spend time trying to guess what you've been doing.
