title: Cannot install R Shiny Server on WSL Ubuntu 18.04
body: <p>I am unable to install Shiny server on my WSL Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  I get the error after I run this line:
  wget <a href="https://download3.rstudio.org/ubuntu-14.04/x86_64/shiny-server-1.5.9.923-amd64.deb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://download3.rstudio.org/ubuntu-14.04/x86_64/shiny-server-1.5.9.923-amd64.deb</a>
  sudo gdebi shiny-server-1.5.9.923-amd64.deb</p>
  
  <p>This is the error I keep getting:</p>
  
  <p>/var/lib/dpkg/info/shiny-server.postinst: 97: /var/lib/dpkg/info/shiny-server.postinst: initctl: not found
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shiny-server.postinst: 99: /var/lib/dpkg/info/shiny-server.postinst: initctl: not found</p>
  
  <p>Kindly help.</p>
  
  <p>Tried changing the initctl in /var/lib/dpkg/info/shiny-server.postinst to systemctl but it did not help</p>
  
  <p>I followed the instructions on the R shiny server page</p>
