Compilation error on windows

General

I’m having some problems compiling a stan model on windows. I’ve followed the instructions for installing on windows but am still experiencing the following error. Any thoughts?

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :
  Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! make: sh.exe: Comman
d not found

Error 127 means it could not find the C++ compiler. The most common cause of that problem is not checking the box that says to save changes to the PATH when installing RTools. The second most common cause is omitting or otherwise messing up the BINPREF line in .Rprofile. The third most common cause is Windows doing something inexplicable.

Thanks @bgoodri! I’m on a corporate computer and didn’t install Rtools, so I bet first issue you mentioned is the culprit - I’ll investigate further. Thanks!
