R: Install Python packages

py_install {reticulate} | R Documentation

## Install Python packages

### Description

Install Python packages into a virtualenv or conda env.

### Usage

    py_install(packages, envname = "r-reticulate", method = c("auto",
      "virtualenv", "conda"), conda = "auto", ...)

### Arguments

`packages` | Character vector with package names to install
`envname` | Name of environment to install packages into
`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` | Path to conda executable (or "auto" to find conda using the PATH and other conventional install locations).
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `conda_install()` or `virtualenv_install()`.

### Details

On Linux and OS X the "virtualenv" method will be used by default ("conda" will be used if virtualenv isn't available). On Windows, the "conda" method is always used.
