I'm trying to install reticulate but it's not working, I get this error message : Error 1 occurred creating conda environment. How can I fix this please.

Code :

library(reticulate)
repl_python()

Reticulate needs an conda or another virtual environment. To investigate the source of the error message, I would check whether and which python version is per default used via py_config().

if not found, try to re-create the environment via conda_create("r-reticulate"). and then specify which environment to use via use_condaenv("r-reticulate").

Helpful links for installation and setup are rstudio.github.io/reticulate and subsection on conda-tools

Example output for py_config()
