How to avoid (r-reticualte) in my macOS terminal prompt

RStudio IDE

When using my terminal of MacOS from RStudio I got (r-reticulate) all the time. How can I avoid this behavior?

For example:

(r-reticulate) MacStudio-de-Manuel:R_macroecologia manuelspinola$

I suspect some package installed r-reticulate, and now that prompt shows up. Here's how I got rid of it:

  • Go into the Terminal from RStudio.
  • Type "printenv PATH". This shows you the PATH environment variable. Mine showed two copies of "/Users/murdoch/.virtualenvs/r-reticulate/bin". That's under my home directory, and I don't want to use r-reticulate, so I just made sure I was in my home directory, and deleted the junk one: "rm -rf .virtualenvs/r-reticulate/bin".
  • That fixed things, but for good measure I also removed the reticulate package in R: remove.packages("reticulate").

I haven't had a long time to test this, so I don't know if I've broken anything.

Thank you very much.
