\usage{
runApp(appDir = getwd(), port = getOption("shiny.port"),
  launch.browser = getOption("shiny.launch.browser", interactive()),
  host = getOption("shiny.host", "127.0.0.1"), workerId = "",
  quiet = FALSE, display.mode = c("auto", "normal", "showcase"))
}
\arguments{
\item{appDir}{The application to run. Should be one of the following:
\itemize{
\item A directory containing \code{server.R}, plus, either \code{ui.R} or
 a \code{www} directory that contains the file \code{index.html}.
\item A directory containing \code{app.R}.
\item An \code{.R} file containing a Shiny application, ending with an
 expression that produces a Shiny app object.
\item A list with \code{ui} and \code{server} components.
\item A Shiny app object created by \code{\link{shinyApp}}.
}}

\item{port}{The TCP port that the application should listen on. If the
\code{port} is not specified, and the \code{shiny.port} option is set (with
\code{options(shiny.port = XX)}), then that port will be used. Otherwise,
use a random port.}

\item{launch.browser}{If true, the system's default web browser will be
launched automatically after the app is started. Defaults to true in
interactive sessions only. This value of this parameter can also be a
function to call with the application's URL.}

\item{host}{The IPv4 address that the application should listen on. Defaults
to the \code{shiny.host} option, if set, or \code{"127.0.0.1"} if not. See
Details.}

\item{workerId}{Can generally be ignored. Exists to help some editions of
Shiny Server Pro route requests to the correct process.}

\item{quiet}{Should Shiny status messages be shown? Defaults to FALSE.}

\item{display.mode}{The mode in which to display the application. If set to
the value \code{"showcase"}, shows application code and metadata from a
\code{DESCRIPTION} file in the application directory alongside the
application. If set to \code{"normal"}, displays the application normally.
Defaults to \code{"auto"}, which displays the application in the mode given
in its \code{DESCRIPTION} file, if any.}
}
\description{
Runs a Shiny application. This function normally does not return; interrupt R
to stop the application (usually by pressing Ctrl+C or Esc).
}
\details{
The host parameter was introduced in Shiny 0.9.0. Its default value of
\code{"127.0.0.1"} means that, contrary to previous versions of Shiny, only
the current machine can access locally hosted Shiny apps. To allow other
clients to connect, use the value \code{"0.0.0.0"} instead (which was the
value that was hard-coded into Shiny in 0.8.0 and earlier).
