there is no package called ‘shiny’

[abhishek kapoor]

Hi group,

I have deployed shiny server on AWS

But when I am running my app i m getting an error

An error has occurred

The application failed to start.

The application exited during initialization.

Error in library(shiny) : there is no package called ‘shiny’ Execution halted

while installing shiny on AWS i followed instruction on site http://withr.me/blog/2013/07/23/configure-shiny-server-under-ubuntu/

when i running a command .libPaths() in R console, I m getting

> .libPaths()

[1] "/home/ubuntu/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0"

[2] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"                 

[3] "/usr/lib/R/site-library"                       

[4] "/usr/lib/R/library"     

Please help me out.

I am non technical guy, whatever i have done is through Google and documents available.

Regards

Abhishek

Can you confirm that you typed this line exactly as provided in that post?

sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('shiny', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""

Oh, the rest of that post is quite out of date. It is directing you to install quite an old version of Shiny Server.

I recommend that you uninstall Shiny Server 0.3.x using these instructions:

http://rstudio.github.io/shiny-server/latest/#upgrading-from-shiny-server-0.3.x

Then use the instructions here to install:

Thanks Joe.

I followed the instruction shared in link

but now i am facing another problem.

I am not able to install package - 'FactoMineR''

I used following instruction

sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('FactoMineR', repos='http://cran.stat.nus.edu.sg/')\""

Something is wrong with your R installation, it's downloading but not installing. What happens if you just type "tar" at the command prompt (not R prompt)? How about "unzip"? I'm wondering if some fundamental utilities are missing.
