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()

Below is a quick fix. go to the project directory in command line by cd. then

 R -e "shiny::runApp(port=8000,host = getOption('shiny.host', '10.10.10.10'))"

now the URL 10.10.10.10:8000 will be active.

To keep the URL alive even after you log off, nohup can be used. Obviously, not the desired setup for a production environment.

 nohup R -e "shiny::runApp(port=8000,host = getOption('shiny.host', '10.10.10.10'))" &
