I am trying to build a Rstudio/Shiny App and post it in our intranet so that everyone else in our office could see it. I am a windows guy, and the instructions online about how to setup a shiny server within Linux environment is a bit difficult for me. Is there an easy way that I can could accomplish this goal without messing up with Linux. Even if I have to do so, is there an easy way to just have my webpage available to people within our company, not everyone on the internet. Thanks!

you don't need shiny server for this, you just need to run an R instance with shiny

shiny automatically runs it at local host... you need to change it to your own ip if you want your colleges be able to access it..

ip="192.168.178.10" # change this!
runApp("../microplate",host=ip) # change microplate to the name of your shiny package/app
