[Python] Having trouble using Python in R via Reticulate, issue with libraries

I am having a hard time getting Python to work in R via Reticulate. I downloaded Anaconda, R, Rstudio, and Python to my system. Below are their paths:

Python: C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

Anaconda: C:\Users\John\anaconda3

R: C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.1

Rstudio: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

But within R, if I do "Sys.which("python")", the following path is displayed:

"C:\\Users\\John\\DOCUME~1\\VIRTUA~1\\R-RETI~1\\Scripts\\python.exe"


Now, whenever I call upon reticulate in R, it works, but after giving the error: "NameError: name 'library' is not defined"

I can use Python in R, but I'm unable to import any of the libraries that I installed, including pandas, numpy, etc. I installed those in Anaconda (though I used the "base" path when installing, as I didn't understand the whole 'virtual environment' thing). Trying to import a library results in the following error:

File "
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.2\reticulate\python\rpytools\loader.py
", line 122, in _find_and_load_hook
return _run_hook(name, _hook)
File "
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.2\reticulate\python\rpytools\loader.py
", line 96, in _run_hook
module = hook()
File "
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.2\reticulate\python\rpytools\loader.py
", line 120, in _hook
return _find_and_load(name, import_)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'


Does anyone know of a resolution? Thanks in advance.
