Loon with Posit Cloud

[Missilent]

Hi Team,

I am trying to load your package into Posit Cloud ( Rstudio Online ) and it is erroring saying it can not be loaded with this error
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘loon’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'loon', details:
call: structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj")
error: [tcl] couldn't connect to display ":0".

Thanks Fiona

RStudio online / Posit Cloud is server based and so constrained to using a browser for graphics.
Loon can only be used interactively in a local desktop environment ... on your machine ... not over the internet.
This is because it requires X-Windows for interactive graphics (e.g., Quartz on a Mac).

If you want to use loon, it must be on your desktop. From there you could use the loon.shiny package to incorporate interactive loon graphics in a browser deployment.

Hope this helps.

You can still use Posit ... just must be the desktop version
