We have created a novel (beta) and no-cost application we call "lavaanGUI in the Cloud." The beta prototype of the app, which came out of production yesterday, allows you to run your lavaan SEM analyses over the Internet using just a browser from any computer. You do not need to have R installed on your local machine, but you will need to upload your data and lavaan-syntax-formatted model file to estimate your models. There is a bit of documentation and sample files to download at

https://r-courseware.wistia.com/projects/tpz2xne23c

You do not need to have R installed, nor do you need to know anything at all about R to use lavaanGUI which is exclusively form-input-based.

If you are interested in using the no-cost beta app, go to http://pls-gui.com and get yourself a user name and then access the 'lavaanGUI in the Cloud' application by pointing your browser to http://pls-gui.com/lavaangui

Of course, we want to hear about application features and functionalities that do not work.
