I have been trying to install the IBM AIF360 package in R. It is distributed as a Python package and so needs to be installed within a Python environment. A function from the package, install_aif360(), attempted to install AIF360 within an isolated Python environment ("r-reticulate"). I tried following all the relevant steps in this link: https://github.com/Trusted-AI/AIF360/tree/master/aif360/aif360-r
But I keep getting errors like this
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): ...working... failed
CondaSSLError: OpenSSL appears to be unavailable on this machine. OpenSSL is required to
download and install packages.
Exception: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='conda.anaconda.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /conda-forge/win-64/current_repodata.json (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))
Error: Error creating conda environment 'r-reticulate' [exit code 1]
I'm very confused as to why it's doing that. Would really appreciate any help!
Thanks!
I have tried following the trouble shooting section in the link above, but nothing has worked so far.
