rpygeo_build_env(path = NULL, overwrite = TRUE, extensions = NULL,
  x64 = FALSE, pro = FALSE, arcgisAPI = FALSE, workspace = NULL,
  scratch_workspace = NULL)

`path`	Full path to folder containing Python version which is linked to the ArcPy site-package. If left empty, the function looks for `python.exe` in the most likely location (`C:/Python27/`). It is also possible to provide a path to the `ArcGIS API for Python` here. In order to do so you need to provide the path to the python anaconda library were the `arcgis` package is installed. Additionally `arcgisAPI` must be set to true.
`overwrite`	If `TRUE` (default), existing ArcGIS datasets can be overwritten (does not work while using ArcGIS API for Python).
`extensions`	Optional character vector listing ArcGIS extension that should be enabled (does not work while using ArcGIS API for Python)
`x64`	Logical (default: `FALSE`). Determines if path search should look for 64 bit Python ArcPy version in default folder (`C:/Python27`)
`pro`	Logical (default: `FALSE`). If set to `TRUE`' `rpygeo_build_env` tries to find Python version to use in the default ArcGIS Pro location (`C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/Pro/bin/Python/envs/arcgispro-py3/`)
`arcgisAPI`	Logical (default: `FALSE`). Must be set to `TRUE` in order to use the ArcGIS API. This is the only option to work with the `RPyGeo` Package under a linux operation system.
`workspace`	Path of ArcGIS workspace in which to perform the geoprocessing (does not work while using ArcGIS API for Python).
`scratch_workspace`	Path to ArcGIS scratch workspace in which to store temporary files (does not work while using ArcGIS API for Python). If `NULL` a folder named scratch is created inside the workspace folder or on the same directory level as the workspace file geodatabase.

Returns ArcPy or ArcGIS modules in R

# Load ArcPy side-package of ArcGIS Pro with 3D and Spatial Analysis extension.
# Set environment setting 'overwrite' to TRUE.
# Note that no path parameter is necessary because Python is located in the
# default location.
