Requiring definite conda environment for R package to work puts users at disadvantage. If there are any issues in installation, user has to deal with both R and conda now, which is a pain. Reticulate package cannot access the modules available even if user supplies conda environment externally, like Code. Installation now is frustrating as user has to deal with both conda packaging and R (reticulate). If making package user friendly, please post the instructions like ELI5 so that new users try the package. At this point, installation is any thing but easy.
