Thank you for making this shiny-server install method. I let it run all night as suggested. The next day I log into my raspberry and the cmd line is not open. I assumed it must have rebooted after it finished. Now how to I run the server and host a shiny app?

Thank you for your help. I am very new to shiny and R and hosting a web app on a local machine.

One thing to note: before I can run the . master-install.sh command, I have to cd into the Raspbian-ShinyServerAndPython36 directory that is created after I do a git clone of this project.

Maybe I am making a fundamental error in the way I am starting?

Ok this is not working for me.
Trying just the shiny-server-install.sh it eventually returns

bash: config/shiny-server/shiny-server-install.sh: No such file or directory
bash: config/shiny-server/shiny-server-post-install.sh: No such file or directory

I am assuming there is something basic that I need to do to make this work and everyone understands yet I am unaware.

Thanks

I honestly don't know. I gave up on this project a while back because I was also having trouble. I will say that this setup seems to be too much for the Raspberry Pi to handle. A better solution might be to host the Shiny app on a server and full screen your browser to the address.

You might also look at other solutions:

Well that’s good to know so I can stop working on this. I had already tried that first link with the same problems but I haven’t seen the other two. Thanks for the info, I’ll look into those and see if I can learn something.

Thanks
