Incorporating interactive shiny apps into Rmarkdown document for blogdown Hugo blog : <p>I am attempting to upload my first post to a Hugo blog using RMarkdown.  Below you can find my code creating the document:</p>

<pre><code>---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Jorge"
date: "September 9, 2017"
output: html_document
runtime: shiny
---


```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

```


```{r echo=FALSE, include=FALSE}
data('USArrests')
head(USArrests)
```
```{r echo = TRUE, include = FALSE}

library(tidyverse)
library(maps)
library(mapproj)
library(geosphere)
library(ggrepel)
library(scales)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(plotly)
library(shiny)
```

## Map
```{r, echo = FALSE, include = TRUE}

us_states &lt;- map_data('state')
USArrests$region &lt;- tolower(row.names(USArrests))
arrest_map_data &lt;- merge(us_states, USArrests, by = 'region')
arrest_map_data &lt;- arrest_map_data[order(arrest_map_data$order),]

inputPanel(
  selectInput("crime", label = "Crime: ",
          choices = list('Murder' = 'Murder', 
                         'Assault' = 'Assault', 
                         'Rape' = 'Rape'), selected = 'Murder')

)

renderPlot(

  ggplot() + coord_map() + 
geom_map(data = arrest_map_data, map = arrest_map_data,
                              aes(x = long, y = lat, map_id = region),
                              fill = "grey80", color = "black", size = 0.15) +
                     geom_polygon(data = arrest_map_data, aes_string(x = 'long', y = 'lat', 
                                                            group = 'group', fill = input$crime)) +
                     scale_fill_gradient(low = 'light blue', high = 'dark blue', name = 'Arrests per 100,000\nresidents') +
                     theme(legend.position = 'bottom', 
                           panel.grid = element_blank(),
                           panel.background = element_blank(),
                           axis.text = element_blank(),
                           axis.title = element_blank())
)
```

## Scatterplot
```{r, echo = FALSE, include = TRUE}

inputPanel(

  checkboxGroupInput("crime2", label = "Crime: ",
              choices = list('Murder' = 'Murder', 
                         'Assault' = 'Assault', 
                         'Rape' = 'Rape'), selected = c('Murder', 'Assault'))
)

renderPlotly(

  ggplotly(ggplot(data = USArrests, 
              aes_string(x = input$crime2[1], y = input$crime2[2], text = input$region)) + 
      geom_point(fill = "grey80", color = "black", size = (USArrests$UrbanPop) / 10))
)
```

<p>I save this as an .Rmd file within the Posts section of the R project related to the blogdown directory.  When I run:</p>

<pre><code>blogdown::serve_site()
</code></pre>

<p>I get an error saying:
Error: path for html_dependency not provided
Execution halted
Error in render_page(f):
The page shown above.</p>

<p>I am new to blogdown and cannot find a solution to this error, so if anyone could provide some insight into how to work around this error and include interactive shiny apps into Hugo please let me know.  </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
