search_conda: Search package availabilty

In Herper: The Herper package is a simple toolset to install and manage conda packages and environments from R

Description

Search package availabilty

Usage

conda_search(package, channel = NULL, print_out = TRUE, pathToMiniConda = NULL)

Arguments

package	Package to search for. If an exact match is found, the funtion will return true (assuming 'package_version' is left NULL or is a valid entry). If there is not an exact match and other packages contain this text, the function will return FALSE but the alternative options will be printed if print_out = TRUE.
channel	A specific to search in addition to defaults (bioconda defaults and conda-forge are the default channels)
print_out	Either True or FALSE indicating whether to print out information about available builds and channels for the search entry.
pathToMiniConda	Path to miniconda installation. If this is set to NULL (default), then the output of 'reticulate::miniconda_path()' is used.

Value

TRUE/FALSE
