(Linux) Install Python either from sources, or via the version of Python provided by your operating system's package manager.

(macOS) Install Python via the official Python binaries available from ,.

(Windows) Install Python via the official Python binaries available from ,.

(Recommended) Using reticulate::install_miniconda(), to install a Miniconda distribution of Python using the reticulate package,.

If you haven't already installed Python, it can be installed in a couple of ways:

The reticulate R package (1.20 or newer, as available from CRAN)įirst, Python needs to be installed on your machine.

An installation of Python (2.7 or newer 3.5 or newer preferred), and.

RStudio uses the reticulate R package to interface with Python, and so RStudio's Python integration requires: This article will explore how Python can be used together with R and RStudio. My approach is just to blow ~/Anaconda3 away and re-install it from scratch, but maybe there’s a smarter way to do it.RStudio 1.4 brings improved support for the Python programming language to the RStudio IDE. To be honest, if your Anaconda is that old, I would probably do that anyway. If you’re asking about changing the default Python version for your Anaconda, I think you have to upgrade Anaconda. If you’re asking about changing your base environment, my advice is to ignore that environment and use your own environments for everything.

You can nuke the other environment ( conda env remove) or keep it in case you need it. Now you can do install new libraries, do your work, etc, in Python 3.10. Once it has finished (it should be much less than 45 hours!), you can do this: This creates a new environment called myenv (or whatever you want), which is running Python 3.10. Rather than upgrading Python from 3.6 to 3.10 in a given environment, the easiest thing to do is probably to create a new environment. As you found, there are a lot of dependencies to figure out, especially with a big step like 3.6 to 3.10.

In general, upgrading the version of Python in an environment is a bit tricky. Am I missing something fundamental here? How do I get my version onto 3.10? However when I type python -version it appears it’s still on 3.6.15. I tried conda install python=3.10 and although it took 45hrs to resolve conflicts, it seemed to complete the process. I’m trying to updgrade my anaconda3-installed python version from 3.6.15 to 3.10.
