Install python-chess

Source: R/chess.R

Install the python library used as the backbone of this package. You can pass arguments on to reticulate::py_install(), but python-chess needs python_version = "3.9" and pip = TRUE.

install_chess(
  method = c("auto", "virtualenv", "conda"),
  conda = "auto",
  envname = NULL,
  conda_python_version = "3.9",
  ...
)

Arguments

method

conda

Path to conda executable (or "auto" to find conda using the PATH and other conventional install locations)
envname

Name of Python environment to install within
conda_python_version

the python version installed in the created conda environment (Python 3.9 is installed by default)
...

other arguments passed to reticulate::conda_install() or reticulate::virtualenv_install()

Value

TRUE if installation is successful
