[Python] How to properly install rgee?

I first created an account and a project with Google Earth Engine.

Then I installed and loaded the rgee package:

install.packages("rgee")
library(rgee)


I checked if python is installed:

> reticulate:y_available()
[1] FALSE


And installed it on my system:

> reticulate:y_discover_config()
python: /usr/bin/python
libpython: /usr/lib64/libpython3.13.so.1.0
pythonhome: //usr://usr
version: 3.13.5 (main, Jun 12 2025, 00:00:00) [GCC 15.1.1 20250521 (Red Hat 15.1.1-2)]
numpy: /usr/lib64/python3.13/site-packages/numpy
numpy_version: 2.2.6
ee: /home/saidmaanan/.local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ee

NOTE: Python version was forced by use_python() function
> rgee::ee_install_set_pyenv(py_path = "/usr/bin/python", py_env = "rgee")
EARTHENGINE_PYTHON='/usr/bin/python'
EARTHENGINE_ENV='rgee'

I checked if everything is installed properly, and it gave me this:

> rgee::ee_check()
◉ Python version
✔ [Ok] /usr/bin/python v3.13
Error in strsplit(a, "[.-]") : non-character argument


What is the cause of this error? And how do I address it?

Here is some information about my machine:
