add ecmwfr #119

Unfortunately this is not available as a conda package. Generally conda packages for R have names r-* for example installing conda package r-fastmap allows use of library(fastmap) in an R session. There is nothing found when searching for r-ecmwfr (or in fact anything starting r-ec) at https://conda-forge.org/feedstock-outputs/ .

It can be installed in user environment by the following at the R command line:

install.packages("ecmwfr")

and this will put ecmwfr and any other dependencies in a private library under $HOME/R/x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-library/4.0/. I tested this and then the library(ecmwfr) command appeared to succeed, although I wouldn't know how to test it further.

However, there is no straightforward way to add the equivalent of this to the jasr environment. Therefore, sorry, we will have to close this issue as WONTFIX, and leave you to install the package in your user directory if required.
