Error in installing github package with shinyapps.io

[xVik]

I deployed my app to shinyapps.io which worked fine, but when I open the weblink, I get the following error

Downloading github repo ebailey78/shinyBS@shinyBS3
Installing shinyBS
'/usr/lib/R/bin/R' --vanilla CMD INSTALL \
'/tmp/RtmpFLKXua/devtools3b4148b31e/ebailey78-shinyBS-cc2295e' \
--library='/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' --install-tests 

Error: ERROR: no permission to install to directory ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
Error: Command failed (1)
Execution halted

I believe this is because in my code for the app, I install the github package using

install_github("ebailey78/shinyBS", ref = "shinyBS3")

and it doesn't seem possible to install. Is there any workaround/fix to this?

You should not install the package inside your app (i.e. do not call
install_github() in your app code). Just install it locally, and
shinyapps.io will figure out how to install it on the server.
