install_axidraw(path = NULL, ...)

Arguments

path

The path to the AxiDraw API. If NULL it will be downloaded automatically.

...

Arguments passed on to reticulate::py_install

envname

The name, or full path, of the environment in which Python packages are to be installed. When NULL (the default), the active environment as set by the RETICULATE_PYTHON_ENV variable will be used; if that is unset, then the r-reticulate environment will be used.

method

Installation method. By default, "auto" automatically finds a method that will work in the local environment. Change the default to force a specific installation method. Note that the "virtualenv" method is not available on Windows.

conda

The path to a conda executable. Use "auto" to allow reticulate to automatically find an appropriate conda binary. See Finding Conda for more details.

python_version

The requested Python version. Ignored when attempting to install with a Python virtual environment.

pip

Boolean; use pip for package installation? This is only relevant when Conda environments are used, as otherwise packages will be installed from the Conda repositories.
