Unable to run Shiny app runExample("01_hello") in RStudio

[MarkM247]

Hello,

I am just beginning with Shiny. I can run the Shiny app runExample("01_hello") in RStudio on my home PC. I am unable to run this Shiny app in RStudio on my work PC although if I just use R terminal version 3.6.1 and not RStudio, it works. In RStudio, I get a message stating listening 127.0.0.1 with changing port numbers for each attempt and then RStudio closes and Shiny does not open. How do I get Shiny to work in RStudio?

Mark

Hi @MarkM247! Welcome!

A couple of questions to help make it easier for others to figure out what might be wrong:

• What version of RStudio are you running on your work PC?
• What do you get when you run these lines just after starting RStudio on your work PC?:

  library(shiny)
  sessionInfo()
  

  (Don't forget to format the console output as code so our forum software doesn't garble anything )

Thank you. I am using the free desktop version 1.1.463 of RStudio on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
