possible to run RShiny app without opening an R environment?

Question

Currently I have a R shiny app, to run it I open up RStudio and execute

setwd(\"C:/Users/Me/Desktop/R/ShinyProject2\")
library(shiny)
......
runApp()

There's now a new way to use to build a truly stand-alone Shiny app exe via "Electron" and "Photon". See following links for packages/plug-ins, etc.

• Deploying R shiny app as a standalone application

That said, RStudio's shinyapps.io or a Binder deployment is likely a better choice in accessibility and development.
