getting errors with data.table examples in PDF

Hi Ed,
Your new Tinyverse PDF "Getting started in R"
is truly great.
Thanks!

But I'm getting errors in Rstudio
with all data.table examples in that PDF.

ie:

cw[, weightKg := weight/1000 ]
Error in :=(weightKg, weight/1000) :
Check that is.data.table(DT) == TRUE. Otherwise, := and :=(...) are defined for use in j, once only and in particular ways. See help(":=").

Using Ubuntu Linux 32 bits w/ latest R and Rstudio...
and data.table PKG version 1.11.8
