Install SASPy package

Description

Installs the SASPy package and its dependencies within a virtual Python environment.

Behavior was derived from tensorflow::install_tensorflow().

Usage

install_saspy(
  method = c("auto", "virtualenv", "conda"),
  conda = "auto",
  envname = "r-saspy",
  extra_packages = NULL,
  restart_session = TRUE,
  conda_python_version = NULL,
  ...,
  pip_ignore_installed = FALSE,
  new_env = identical(envname, "r-saspy"),
  python_version = NULL
)

Arguments

method	By default, ⁠“auto”⁠ automatically finds a method that will work in the local environment. Change the default to force a specific installation method.
conda	The path to a conda executable. Use "auto" to allow reticulate to automatically find an appropriate conda binary.
envname	The name, or full path, of the environment in which Python packages are to be installed.
extra_packages	Additional packages to install.
restart_session	Restart session?
conda_python_version	Passed to conda (only applicable if method = "conda")
...	other arguments passed to reticulate::conda_install() or reticulate::virtualenv_install(), depending on the method used.
pip_ignore_installed	Should pip ignore installed python packages and reinstall all already installed python packages?
new_env	If TRUE, any existing Python virtual environment and/or conda environment specified by envname is deleted first.
python_version	Select the Python that will be used to create the virtualenv. Pass a string with version constraints like "3.8", or ">=3.9,<=3.11" or a file path to a python executable like "/path/to/bin/python3". The supplied value is passed on to reticulate::virtualenv_starter(). Note that SASPy requires a Python version of at least >=3.4.

Value

No return value.
