My shiny app currently builds and deploys to my local machine without a problem. When I try to deploy it to my shinyapps.io account, I get a build error. I believe all of my packages are from CRAN and so is shows that the compiled binary packages are being installed. This is true for all but the "…

Other libraries included in the app are: library(shiny) library(shinythemes) library(dplyr) library(magrittr) library(ggplot2) library(ggthemes) library(plotly)

CRAN only makes compiled binaries available for Windows and Mac, not Linux. The shinyapps.io environment currently is based upon Ubuntu 14.04, and the documentation has an appendix listing the system packages that are installed by default. Unfortunately, it is GCC 4.8, which is not supported by ndj…

Rats....just so I'm clear, does this mean I have a showstopper for deploying to shinyapps.io ? Are there any work arounds that you can think of? Please keep me posted of the proposed update to Ubuntu 16.04. Is there an approximate time frame on when that might happen? Thanks.

If that is a required package for you, then likely yes. It looks like there is a pull request to ndjson with a partial fix that will not be merged due to maintainability, but you could try to see if that helps.

Thanks. I'm relatively new to this sort of thing. Can you point me in the right direction as to where I can find this pull request and what I would have to do to "try" it when deploying to shinyappsio? My experience with this is limited and I rely mostly on the R studio GUI to do most things.

See the "Please note" section: https://github.com/nlohmann/json#supported-compilers It references this pull request . You would need to install it locally using devtools::install_github.

It looks like that's going to be a no-go. Could I potentially make this work if I download the shiny server (not shiny server pro) and install it on Ubuntu 16.04 myself? Any idea when the shinyappsio server might get updated in the future? Thanks.

The switch to Ubuntu 16.04 will take place later today. [image] Update on R 3.5.0 on shinyapps.io shiny First of all, thank you for bearing with us in this delay. Historically new versions of R were made available for Ubuntu on CRAN just a few days after the regular relea…
