R_HOME Error with rpy2
I confirm this issue is related to R_HOME variable not defined.
In my opinion, all of these issues are caused because the developers of rpy2 package haven't documented properly the requirements of their software:
- Install
R - Create
R_HOMEsystem variable - Add
R_HOME\binto thePATH, in order to executeRfrompython - Add
R_HOME\bin\x64to thePATH, in order to loadR.dll - Install package
tzlocal
With help from the comment above, I got moving in the proper direction. I created the R_HOME as a SYSTEM variable. That didn't work right away, as I was getting an R_USER not defined error.
To get everything the import above to work without error, I simply re-installed the rpy2 exectuable from here after defining the R_HOME. No errors.
In summary, key was o have R_HOME set PRIOR TO installing rpy2.
