+#' Launch the Rnaught Web Application
+#'
+#' This is the entry point of the Rnaught web application, which creates and
+#' returns a Shiny app object. When invoked directly, the web application is
+#' launched.
+#'
+#' The following dependencies are required to run the application:
+#'   * [shiny](https://shiny.posit.co)
+#'   * [bslib](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib)
+#'   * [DT](https://rstudio.github.io/DT)
+#'   * [plotly](https://plotly-r.com)
+#'
+#' If any of the above packages are missing during launch, a prompt will appear
+#' to install them.
+#'
+#' To configure settings such as the port, host or default browser, set Shiny's
+#' global options (see [shiny::runApp()]).
+#'
+#' @return A Shiny app object for the Rnaught web application.

+#' @importFrom utils install.packages
