Hi all, I have been using Anaconda as package/environment manager for my Python version and packages, but this has led to my Bash Shell using the Anaconda version of R when I run Rscripts, and not the version of R I use in RStudio when I develop. This is something I don't want to happen, I want the command line to access the same version of R and R packages as I have installed via RStudio. I prefer to manage R and R package versions and installation in R because I can get more recent versions of R and R packages via RStudio compared to using conda.
I have tried several things to fix this. For example, specifying the PATH in .bash_profile to be the R version I wanted to use didn't work unless I removed the PATH to Anaconda, but then I can't use conda to manage Python. The only thing I could do to fix this was to delete the R and Rscript that Anaconda installed. I don't think this fix is optimal, is there a better way to deal with this? Also, this may be something we need to think about when people who develop in R routinely and use Rscripts, come to a Software Carpentry workshop to learn Python and install Anaconda. Doing this will change the version of R and R packages that they can now access from the command line (unless my experience here is unique). So we in effect, in some cases our installation might be breaking some of their working tools... Thanks, Tiffany Thanks! Tiffany -- Tiffany A.
