Warning in install.packages :

Kindly help me what to do.

Answer 1

Go Directly to " http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.1/shiny_0.10.1.zip "

Download the file on your laptop/PC .

Then run the command:

install.packages(shiny_0.10.1.zip, repos=NULL)

Answer 2

Check these solutions (They are the results of my Googling):

1. Change your repository to another repositories (domestic repositories are better.)

2. Just update manipulate:

install.packages("manipulate")

Then:

install.packages("shiny")

3. change working directory and try again.

4. download manually the shiny package and install with this command: install.packages('D:/shiny_0.11.1.zip', repos = NULL, type = "source")
