Shiny stan do not work in ubuntu (tested in ubuntu 20.04 and 16.04 both LTS versions)

[jmaronas]

Hello.

As I mentioned in the forum it seems shinystan does not properly work in ubuntu. Here are the commands used for reproducing the problem:

1. Create and activate conda environment:

conda create -n R_env  r-essentials r-base
conda activate R_env
R

Then inside the new environment install:

Sys.setenv(DOWNLOAD_STATIC_LIBV8 = 1)
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("stan-dev/shinystan", build_vignettes = TRUE)
launch_shinystan_demo(demo_name = "eight_schools")

The output rendered is that provided in the forum thread: https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/shinystan-not-working-properly/19612
