How to save an interactive plot produced by ggvis?

I have produced a plot using the ggvis package in R. The plot is interactive which can be changed by moving around the slider. However when I save it, it is just a picture of current status without sliders.

I have seen people posting these interactive plots on the website, so I think there should be a way to save it first. How can I do this?

From the Rstudio page for ggvis:

Note: If you’re viewing the HTML version of this document generated with knitr, the examples will have their interactive features disabled. You’ll need to run the code in R to see and use the interactive controls.

From this and the whole page I gather that sharing the interactive graphics can be done using Shiny Apps and/or R Markdown documents. To deploy either of those to people who do not have R installed you need to a) use Shiny Apps IO; or b) install Shiny Server, which has a free version with very basic administration capabilities, and a paid version for confidential information in corporate environment (which I'm only mentioning in case you are not allowed to share your data).

Either way, read through the Shiny Tutorial, the R Markdown Tutorial, and the combination.
