title: Creating an R environment using anaconda
body: <p>I want to create a new R environment using anaconda. Following this page '<a href="https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/using-r-language/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/using-r-language/</a>' I created an environment called eeEnv_r using this command in anaconda prompt <code>conda create -n r_env r-essentials r-base</code>. However the environment that was created looks like it was python environment. But when I type <code>conda list</code> I see some r packages such as dplyr appearing in addition to some python packages. Also there is python.exe file in environment folder. Any ideas why this is ?</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to use VS code to run R, since I am familier with the IDE (used for python work). Also I want to create environments in R and then use those environment ins VS code (similar to python).  </p>
