I'm trying to publish an app that uses the nloptr package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nloptr/index.html) to the company rconnect server. The app works on my machine and I was also able to publish it to rconnect prior to adding the optimization feature.
Now when I try to publish the app, the status hangs on "Installing nloptr (1.0.4) ..." seemingly indefinitely.
It appears the package requires an external library so I'm not really sure how to go about deploying the app with this feature intact.
Does anyone know if it is possible to run this package/packages that require external libraries in a shiny app on rconnect?
If so, is there a way I can install the library on the server? (I have publisher access but not admin.) Do I need IT to install it?
In case it's not possible, any suggestions for a similar nonlinear optimization package that doesn't require an external library are more than welcome (and will be passed along to my teammate who wrote the functions I'm trying to call)
I recently had that problem too, trying to install that package on a client shiny server. If you're on Ubuntu, this is what I had to install as a req for the package:
Hi @maura, there are other Linux dependencies that would be good to install so that other R packages work when deployed in an app, here's the section in the RStudio Connect Admin guide listing some suggested packages: http://docs.rstudio.com/connect/admin/getting-started.html#installation It's worth noting that the specific nloptr dependency is not listed, so it may be that the supplemental Linux packages were already installed by your IT team.
So, I've gotten an admin to install the nlopt library on the server, but now I'm getting another error and still cant deploy...
Wondering if anyone has seen this and knows how to fix it?
(apologies for pasting the full deploy log here- it looks like its only partially working...)
Thanks!
