Answer 1

First you were missing the runtime: shiny in the beginning of your Rmd file Second you were missing closing ")" in the inputPanel

inputPanel(radioButtons("category",label= "Select  Category",choices=c("diffPts","diffGF","diffGA","diffGD","diffpos"),inline = TRUE))



selectInput("dataset","Choose :",

This issue comes up when you use rmarkdown::render instead of rmarkdown::run which is required to run the Shiny server.
