Description
I've created a shinylive app using shinylive R package. When running it using either httpuv or another local webserver numerous errors abound. Here all of the R packages fail to be installed.
Additionally sometimes the service worker cannot be found. Are there additional npm requirements that we should handle after "exporting" the app?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the exported shinylive R app through httpuv or another local webserver, then inspect the package-installation errors and the missing service worker reported in the issue. Done means the R packages install successfully in the exported app and the service worker is found and runs without additional undocumented npm requirements.
