The Global Environment in RStudio only displays objects currently loaded into your session, such as data frames or variables—not packages. So if you’ve installed and loaded the palmerpenguins
package but don’t see it in the Global Environment, that’s expected behavior. To make something from the package appear, you need to explicitly load a dataset like penguins
using data("penguins")
after calling library(palmerpenguins)
. Once loaded, the penguins
data frame will show up in the Global Environment.
