title: shiny with portable R?
body: <p>For building some web services with R, I normally use <a href="http://rapache.net/" rel="noreferrer">RApache</a> but I want to have a look at Shiny to see what it can do. 
  Problem is that for this situation where I am envisioning it to use, I do not have a server available where I can run R &amp; shiny, nor can I transfer data to another machine where it runs. I only have a desktop and I want to show the Shiny application to other users without having them to install R on their desktops and without bothering IT about that installation.</p>
  
  <p>Hence my question. Is it possible that I install R portable - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/files/R-Portable/" rel="noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/files/R-Portable/</a> on a shared drive which is shared with colleagues and that the Shiny application can interact with the portable R version.
  If this is possible, has someone tried it out and is willing to share some of his code to prove that it works?</p>
