Remove greta's Python dependencies

Source: R/reinstallers.R
greta_remove.Rd

A single entry point for removing greta's Python bits, which is useful when debugging a greta installation and you want to get back to a "clean slate". Use the what argument to choose how much to remove.

Usage

greta_remove(
  what = c("all", "env", "miniconda", "uv_cache", "preference", "deps"),
  ask = interactive()
)

Arguments

what

What to remove. One of:

  • "all" (default): the "greta-env-tf2" conda environment, miniconda, reticulate's uv cache, and greta's stored preferences (the Python backend set via greta_set_python(), and the dependency versions set via greta_set_deps()). This is a "nuclear" reset that asks once, then removes everything it finds.

  • "env": the "greta-env-tf2" conda environment.

  • "miniconda": the miniconda installation.

  • "uv_cache": reticulate's uv cache. Note this cache is shared by all R packages that use reticulate's uv (it is not greta-specific); a system-wide uv cache is left untouched.

  • "preference": greta's stored Python backend preference (set via greta_set_python()).

  • "deps": greta's stored dependency versions (set via greta_set_deps()).

ask

Ask for confirmation? Default is interactive().

Value

Invisibly, TRUE if anything was removed, otherwise FALSE.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# remove everything (nuclear reset)
greta_remove()

# remove only the conda environment
greta_remove("env")

# clear the stored Python preference
greta_remove("preference")

# clear the stored dependency versions
greta_remove("deps")
} # }
