I have a working shiny app which uses library(coral), where coral is a package I wrote myself, installed in the directory of the shiny app.
When I attempt to deploy my app onto shinyapps.io, I receive the following message:
Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- "coral"
Execution halted
From what I can gather online, the issue is probably that coral is not on CRAN, so shinyapps.io cannot get the records for that package from there.
Is that a correct description of the problem? And is there a simple solution?
Thanks in advance.
shinyapps.io has the
devtools
package, and it can install packages from GitHub, if you don't mind putting your package there:devtools
has other functions too to install from other sources, for exampleinstall_bitbucket()
from bitbucket,install_url()
from an arbitrary url andinstall_file()
from a local file on disk.To install from a local directory, you can use
install
