How to use TensorFlow in R if I have Anaconda Python already installed?

In the guide about using TensorFlow in R, they suggest not to use the Anaconda TensorFlow installation. Does this mean Anaconda Python cannot coexist with using TensorFlow in R?

This is no longer an issue, the documentation was updated too.

See here: https://github.com/rstudio/tensorflow/commit/4e1e11d6ba2fe7efe1a03356f96172dbf8db365e

There is an issue using anaconda along with R. Please follow this link for more info.

Directly from the link above:

TensorFlow for R is currently only compatible with OS X and Linux (support for Windows will likely be added over the next few months).

You should NOT install TensorFlow with Anaconda as there are issues with the way Anaconda builds the python shared library that prevent dynamic linking from R. There are potential solution to the above problem see this for more details.
