Basic outline to initialize environments with R or Python kernels in Jupyter platforms
Create and activate the environment
conda create -n r-kernel
conda activate r-kernel
Install the R-kernel and Jupyter packages
conda install r-recommended r-irkernel
conda install Jupyter
Add the R-kernel to Jupyter
R -e 'IRkernel::installspec()'
Type bash in the terminal to make sure you are using a bash terminal.
Type conda init to make sure conda is activated.
To create a new environment "env_name" type conda create -n <env_name>.
To activate the new environment "env_name" type conda activate <env_name>.
To install packages type conda or pip + install <pkg_name>==<ver>.
To link the new environment to JupyterHub type conda install -c anaconda ipykernel and then type ipython kernel install --user --name=<env_name>.
