If you are manging your own server, you need to install the system libraries mentioned on the error message. To give you more specify advice, we will need specifics about your deployment setup (like the OS at the very least).

how to install harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi library on windows?

4

That is confusing, you can't run shiny server on Windows, and the error message you are showing suggests you are trying to install the conflicting package on a Linux machine.

But to answer your follow up question, on Windows it is simpler to just install the precompiled binary.
