Should now be solved with latest commit. Can you test again? @seanmperez

@seanmperez What happens when you run line 15?

Furthermore, what happens if you run renv::restore()?

Hi Alex, apologies for the late reply. I think we are good at this point!

More details below:

1. When I run first click the datahub binder link, it opens up RStudio and clones the project in the desktop space.
2. When I open the project, the libraries needed are automatically attempted to install and I typically get a namespace error as shown above.
3. When I run renv::restore() I get a compilation issue (c++).
4. After, I try the renv:init() again, and after a while, it completes installation.
5. At this point, the notebook opens up properly when connected to the project.

Long story short, it can work but is a bit finicky on datahub! I think we are all good considering the line in the installation instructions below:
