Description
I'm exploring options for deploying a self-contained desktop application, to use at banks (where uploading data to a server is impossible, and R competence may be limited).
For this purpose, I am exploring options to deploy a self-containted desktop app.
The following blog post outlines a method for deploying a desktop RShiny app, with no installation of R, RStudio etc. on the computer:
- RPortable acts as a self-contained R engine (all dependencies pre-installed)
- shiny R package acts as the UI
- GoogleChromePortable acts as the UI display
