Description
Hello.
As I mentioned in the forum it seems shinystan does not properly work in ubuntu. Here are the commands used for reproducing the problem:
- Create and activate conda environment:
conda create -n R_env r-essentials r-base
conda activate R_env
R
Then inside the new environment install:
Sys.setenv(DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8 = 1)
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("stan-dev/shinystan", build_vignettes = TRUE)
launch_shinystan_demo(demo_name = "eight_schools")
The output rendered is that provided in the forum thread: https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/shinystan-not-working-properly/19612

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Ubuntu 20.04 and 16.04 using the documented conda environment and R commands, then compare the rendered output from launch_shinystan_demo(demo_name = "eight_schools") with the linked forum report. Done means the demo launches and renders properly in the affected Ubuntu environments.
