Off topic:Shiny app does not launch browser automatically

Question

[zhang.jianhai]

Hello,

My operating system is Ubuntu 14.04, and my R version is R 3.4.1. I replaced these three files ".vimrc", ".tmux.conf", ".Rprofile" in my home directory from other places. Then when I execute "runApp()" (from Shiny package) in R, it displays " sh: 1: lynx: not found", and the browser does not launch automatically.

Before I replaced the three files, the browser launches automatically.

I tried to search for solutions online, and installed "lynx", but the browser still does not launch automatically.

Can anyone give a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Jianhai
