Start Rstudio Server session in conda environment

I finally understand that you want to use R conda environment with RStudio. reticulate is not for this.

Usually, I have seen R and Anaconda used together on Desktop, and Anaconda Navigator allow that:
https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/navigator/tutorials/create-r-environment

For doing it without navigator, did you try to configure RStudio to use the R version in the conda env you want with RSTUDIO_WHICH_R ?

See linux part, in this doc

There is an example you can adapt

I am not sure it works, however, it worth the try I think.
