Creating jupyter_r conda environment has some issues

[jantonisito]

I tried to run:
conda create -n jupyter_r -c r r-irkernel r-essentials r-recommended rpy2 -y
it almost went through but it reported following issue:
Linking packages ...
'mingw-w64\bin\p11-kit.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
.....
The system cannot find the path specified.

That is slightly surprising because that binary is there:
C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Miniconda2\pkgs\m2w64-p11-kit-0.23.2-1\Library\mingw-w64\bin\p11-kit.exe

Sorry if this is trivial issue - I just started on Python.

After installing r-essentials through conda:
conda install -c r r-essentials
and then removing jupyter_r (not sure if that was necessary but I did not find a way to rebuild environment that already exists):
conda remove --name jupyter_r --all
and creating jupyter_r again:
conda create -n jupyter_r -c r r-irkernel r-essentials r-recommended rpy2 -y
I was able to open Pure R notebook and it would load R kernel.

However rpy2 example does not work:
import rpy2

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 import rpy2

ImportError: No module named rpy2
