Install shiny app using RInno; select R install location

I am creating an install package for a Shiny app. I selected the include_R = TRUE option which bundle R with the installer. Everything is working OK except that R is installed automatically in a location different than the one that I need. How can I change this behavior?

You can change that behavior using the R_flags argument of run or create_app. For example, if you want to install R in each user's documents folder:

create_app(
  app_name = "myapp",
  app_dir = "app",
  R_flags = '/SILENT /DIR=""{userdocs}""')

In this example, I've combined Inno Setup constants with R_flags. You can replace the Inno Setup constant, {userdocs}, with a full path or combine the two, i.e. ""{userdocs}\\R""

For more information, see ?run (soon to be renamed run_section in RInno 0.2.0 because of namespace conflicts).
