Hi,

The error you get may happen if you already have a site served. Can you try again to run serve_site in a cleaned and new R session ?

About deployment ? What does a R server mean ?
Blogdown render a static website that be deployed to any web server.
You have some solutions describe in the book

Hi ,

Thanks. Deployment means can I publish this to the server? Like we do for R shiny applications. I need to share this website to my colleague so. Can i have the link here?

Also may I know what you meant by " already have a site served" ?

I tried again. Still getting same error

This is very ambiguous, whose server? If you mean to publish to shinyapps.io, then the answer is no, you can't. If you mean to publish to your own server, then you just have to install a web server and copy the files to the proper folder, read the chapter cderv pointed out to learn what are your options.

Also I am getting this below error

blogdown::serve_site()
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : 
  namespace ‘xfun’ 0.7 is being loaded, but >= 0.10 is required

The package dependencies need to be updated as well. Why are you doing the update manually by downloading the tarball instead of using a CRAN mirror?

install.packages("blogdown", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com")
