Set up the local RegCheck server (manual Python path) — regcheck_setup

Creates a Python virtual environment inside the bundled RegCheck app directory, installs all dependencies, and downloads the NLTK data. Only needed if you are using the manual Python path – if you have Docker, use regcheck_start_local() directly with method = "docker".

Usage

regcheck_setup_local(python = NULL)

Arguments

python: path to the Python 3.12+ executable; if NULL (default), tries python3 then python on the system PATH.

Value

invisibly, the path to the virtual environment

Details

Python 3.12+ – https://www.python.org/downloads/

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# needs Python 3.12 or later; installs RegCheck's Python packages
