Shiny package is in library but still ask me to install and update it(ASAP)

[Christina Ahn]

Hi,

I am working as an intern and I installed R, R studio at my company computer.

I haven't had this type of issue before at all, and need your help since my officers are more like engineers but not a R savvy.

I am sure this problem caused from the server issue which i have no clue to solve, 

or simply setting issue.

I am posting pics to help your understanding.

So I find shiny package, with library(). Because I downloaded.

But then when I click Run App, it asking me to updated version of the shiny package and  it never ends. it makes computer running  forever.

Thank you so much for helping me but I really need your help

Hi Christina,

Sorry you're having trouble! Could you enter a few commands and let us know what the results of each are?

> .libPaths()

> system.file(package = "shiny")

> .rs.isPackageVersionInstalled("shiny", "0.10.0")

> .rs.getPackageVersion("shiny")

My guess is that Shiny is getting installed in a way that makes it hard to see from RStudio, possibly due to library configuration.

You can run applications without using the button by using runApp from the console. Use setwd() to change to the folder containing your ui.R and server.R files, then: 

> shiny::runApp()
