Description
runUrl()
downloads and launches a Shiny application that is hosted at
a downloadable URL. The Shiny application must be saved in a .zip, .tar, or
.tar.gz file. The Shiny application files must be contained in the root
directory or a subdirectory in the archive. For example, the files might be
myapp/server.r
and myapp/ui.r
. The functions runGitHub()
and runGist()
are based on runUrl()
, using URL's from GitHub
(https://github.com) and GitHub gists (https://gist.github.com),
respectively.
