Specify a Python environment for rgee

Specify a Python environment to use with rgee. This function creates a .Renviron file that contains two environmental variables: 'EARTHENGINE PYTHON' and 'EARTHENGINE ENV'. If an .Renviron file is already in use, ee_install_set_pyenv will append the two previous environmental variables to the end of the file. If the prior two environmental variables were previously set, ee_install_set_pyenv will simply overwrite them. See details to get more information.

ee_install_set_pyenv(
  py_path,
  py_env = NULL,
  Renviron = "global",
  confirm = interactive(),
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

py_path

The path to a Python interpreter

py_env

The name of the conda or venv environment. If NULL, ee_install_upgrade and py_install functions will not work.

Renviron

Character. If it is "global" the environment variables are set in the .Renviron located in the Sys.getenv("HOME") folder. On the other hand, if it is "local" the environment variables are set in the .Renviron on the working directory (getwd()). Finally, users can also enter a specific path (see examples).

confirm

Logical. Confirm before restarting R?.

quiet

Logical. Suppress info message

Value

no return value, called for setting EARTHENGINE_PYTHON in .Renviron

Details

The 'EARTHENGINE_PYTHON' set the Python interpreter path to use with rgee. In the other hand, the 'EARTHENGINE ENV' set the Python environment name. Both variables are storage in an .Renviron file. See Startup documentation to get more information about startup files in R.
