create_condaenv_seuratextend: Create the 'seuratextend' Conda Environment

In huayc09/SeuratExtend: SeuratExtend

Create the 'seuratextend' Conda Environment

Description

Initializes a Conda environment named 'seuratextend' which includes all necessary Python packages for running 'scVelo', 'Palantir', and 'CellRank' via 'SeuratExtend'. This function is ideal for users setting up their analytical environment for the first time or those who need to ensure they have a compatible environment setup.

Usage

create_condaenv_seuratextend(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

Logical; if TRUE, removes any existing 'seuratextend' environment before creating a new one. Default is FALSE. Use this parameter to force recreation of the environment if a previous installation was interrupted or incomplete.

Details

When you run functions from 'SeuratExtend' that require Python integrations, such as 'scVelo', 'Palantir', or 'CellRank', you might need a specific set of Python packages installed. This function facilitates the setup of a Conda environment specifically tailored for these tools, managed through 'reticulate'.

The environment setup is automatic and checks your operating system to configure appropriately. It is currently supported and tested on: * Windows (Intel/AMD processors) * macOS (both Intel-based and Apple Silicon/M-series processors) * Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)

The function automatically detects Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) Macs and uses the appropriate configuration.

If force=TRUE is used, any existing 'seuratextend' environment will be removed before creating a new one. This can be useful when: * A previous installation was interrupted * Required dependencies were not properly installed * You need to reset the environment to a clean state * You encounter persistent environment-related errors

Value

Does not return any value; it creates and configures a new Conda environment.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Standard installation
create_condaenv_seuratextend()

# Force recreation of the environment
create_condaenv_seuratextend(force = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
