How to import conda environments to Rstudio?

Question

[v.berriosfarias]

hello I installed an R package called Spiec-Easi for co occurrence networks analysis.

The problem is that I only could install the program via conda under the "base" conda environment and the program was installed as "r-spieceasi".

Now when I import the library with library("SpiecEasi") I get the following error:

Error in library("SpiecEasi") : there is no package called ‘SpiecEasi

As I have the program installed via conda, how do I call to the package in a rstudio session?

when I run conda list the package appears installed under the "base" conda environment

Is there a way to call the package installed under conda?

Thanks for your time! :)

In order to use that package, you'll need to configure R-studio to 'point' to the version of R under your base environment. If you're running on a version of linux, it should be as easy as setting:

export RSTUDIO_WHICH_R=/path/to/anaconda/envs/base/bin/R

prior to launching Rstudio. You may also need to set your .libPaths to point to the appropriate subdirectory in anaconda/envs/base.
