Use installed R on M1 Mac Anaconda

Hi,
I’m trying to use R in Jupyter Notebook on my M1 Macbook Air. However, Anaconda for ARM doesn’t support R at all. I installed the Intel version, and I can use the R now, the version of it is 3.6.1, but many of the packages I want to use aren’t available for this version. Is there a way how to use my installed R in Anaconda? I tried so many things and nothing works for me.
Thanks a lot for all the help.

Hi,
Same issue here… I tried running conda install r-base r-essentials, and it doesn’t work either. The error appears as follows:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  • r-base
  • r-essentials

Any help you guys can provide is really appreciated! Thanks.
