Initialize anaconda environment used for python backend

Usage

init_env(env_name = "r-lionfish", virtual_env = "virtual_env", local = FALSE)

Arguments

env_name: a string that defines the name of the python environment reticulate uses. This can be useful if one wants to use a preinstalled python environment.
virtual_env: either "virtual_env" or "anaconda". "virtual_env" creates a virtual environment, which has the advantage that the GUI looks much nicer and no previous python installation is required,but the setup of the environment can be more error prone. "anaconda" installs the python environment via Anaconda, which can be more stable, but the GUI looks more dated.

Value
