If all you have to do is install an R package available on cran , you can do install.packages("packagename") , in this case install.packages("shiny") ...Additionally sometimes I have had to specify the repo name from the list available at : https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html if i sense some problem with the default mirror – Ram K Jul 11 '16 at 21:21

1Syntax looks correct to me although the shiny on CRAN is version 0.13.2. What does this return: `file.exists("/tmp/shiny_0.13.1.tar.gz")` – IRTFM Jul 11 '16 at 21:33

`ksh`? I.e., Korn shell? Did you running this line in the shell? It needs to be run in an R session. – merv Jul 19 '17 at 22:18
