create_condaenv_seuratextend.RdInitializes a Conda environment named 'seuratextend' which includes all necessary Python packages for running `scVelo`, `Palantir`, and `CellRank` via `SeuratExtend`. This function is ideal for users setting up their analytical environment for the first time or those who need to ensure they have a compatible environment setup.
create_condaenv_seuratextend(force = FALSE)Logical; if TRUE, removes any existing 'seuratextend' environment before creating a new one. Default is FALSE. Use this parameter to force recreation of the environment if a previous installation was interrupted or incomplete.
Does not return any value; it creates and configures a new Conda environment.
When you run functions from `SeuratExtend` that require Python integrations, such as `scVelo`, `Palantir`, or `CellRank`, you might need a specific set of Python packages installed. This function facilitates the setup of a Conda environment specifically tailored for these tools, managed through `reticulate`.
The environment setup is automatic and checks your operating system to configure appropriately. It is currently supported and tested on: * Windows (Intel/AMD processors) * Intel-based macOS (not compatible with Apple Silicon/M1/M2) * Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
Users with Apple Silicon devices who are interested in contributing to the development of M1/M2 support are welcome to reach out via GitHub Issues.
If force=TRUE is used, any existing 'seuratextend' environment will be removed before creating a new one. This can be useful when: * A previous installation was interrupted * Required dependencies were not properly installed * You need to reset the environment to a clean state * You encounter persistent environment-related errors
