Install and run locally

You can install statnetweb on your local machine and have it run there. This is the preferred option if you want to run the app offline, as it does not require access to the internet during run time.

Local installation requires that you have already installed R, and from R you will need to install statnetWeb and the packages it depends on. You can cut and paste the following code to install and launch the app:

install.packages("statnetWeb") # automatically installs the dependencies
library(statnetWeb)
run_sw()

When you launch the app, it will create a new window that it runs in. To ensure that you can see all of the tabs and options for the app, make sure that the window is expanded to full-screen.

Because the application runs in separate window when you launch, closing the window ends the application session, and you will be returned to your R console. There is no idle time limit for your session (as there is in the online shinyapps.io version), but once you close the app window you can not restart and return to where you left off. If you want to preserve your output, save the plots and summaries before closing the window.
