Creating a new R environment doesn't work #29

Open ijstokes opened 8 years ago

ijstokes commented 8 years ago

From the "Conda" tab in the file browser when I click on "+" to create a new Conda environment if I select "R" then I get a failure. I feel that if the "R" option is presented then picking it should work.

Hey @ijstokes Can you try adding the following to you .condarc

channels:
   - r
   - defaults

R is not part of the default channels that conda searches. I was having the same issue and that fixed it for me

~~r-base is part of default now, so this should not be happening anymore. Closing.~~

We should document the requirement.
