I am trying to install Shiny on my MacBook and was wondering if anyone can help me in doing so.

I have tried to lookup instructions online but I find most of them are for Ubuntu.

I have developed static web-pages before, but they did not include .R code. I want to put up a simple webpage which allows users to selectively plot some data (e.g, plot Y v/s X for 1 value of third variable out of possible 9 values in a drop down menu).

I would be very thankful to the community if someone can guide me in setting up the Shiny server on my OS X machine or provide a basic example. I can run the examples provided with Shiny from inside R Studio but am not able to run them using a web-browser.

Thanks. - AK

@Ayesha Kalra, the shiny-server requires a linux machine as you can see in the readme.md file. You can not install the shiny server on a Mac.( at least not now )

You'll need a Linux server, with the following prerequisites installed...
