Create a Conda environment with the "arcpy" module.
install_arcpy(
method = "conda",
conda = "auto",
version = NULL,
envname = "r-arcpy",
extra_packages = NULL,
restart_session = TRUE,
python_version = NULL,
channel = "esri",
forge = TRUE,
...,
new_env = identical(envname, "r-arcpy")
)Installation method. By default, "auto" automatically finds a method that will work in the local environment. Change the default to force a specific installation method. Note that the "virtualenv" method is not available on Windows.
The path to a conda executable. Use "auto" to allow
reticulate to automatically find an appropriate conda binary.
See Finding Conda and conda_binary() for more details.
Arcpy version to install. Note that the requested arcpy version must match your ArcGIS Pro version.
The name, or full path, of the environment in which Python
packages are to be installed. When NULL (the default), the active
environment as set by the RETICULATE_PYTHON_ENV variable will be used;
if that is unset, then the r-reticulate environment will be used.
Additional Python packages to install along with arcpy.
Restart R session after installing (note this will only occur within RStudio).
Pass a string like "3.9" to request that
conda install a specific Python version. Note that the Python
version must be compatible with the requested arcpy version. If
NULL, the latest compatible Python version will be used.
An optional character vector of conda channels to include.
When specified, the forge argument is ignored. If you need to
specify multiple channels, including the conda forge, you can use
c("conda-forge", <other channels>).
Boolean; include the conda-forge repository?
other arguments passed to reticulate::conda_install().
If TRUE, any existing Python conda environment
specified by envname is deleted first.
(Invisible) TRUE if the Conda environment was created
successfully.
The Conda environment must be configured to match the ArcGIS Pro version currently installed. If ArcGIS Pro is updated, the Conda environment must be recreated.
