In order for BioConductor packages to install succesfully on shinyapps.io, the repos option must be configured, either directly or by using setRepositories(), to include the BioConductor repositories in addition to CRAN.

However, you will not have to wait for these packages to build during future deployments (unless you upgrade or downgrade a package, or you upgrade to a newer version of R).Ĭurrently, the shinyapps.io service supports deploying packages installed from CRAN, GitHub (both public and private repos), and BioConductor. The first time you deploy your application, it may take some time to build these packages (depending on how many packages are used). shinyapps.io then builds and installs the packages into the R library for your application. Be aware that you should not have an explicit install.packages() call within your ui.R or server.R files.ĭuring deployment, the rsconnect package sends the R version, the list of packages and their dependencies, and your application to shinyapps.io. When you deploy your application, the rsconnect package detects the packages that your application uses by looking for explicit library() calls within your application.

The shiny package supports the use of any package in R that you can install. shinyapps.io is built using Ubuntu Linux as the base operating system, and is likely to be different from most users' systems. In order to run your applications on shinyapps.io, the service needs to replicate the environment from your local machine. 9.4 "Disconnected from server" messages.6.3 Tracking user and session information.
