I installed rstan from the “source”. I made sure rtools40 is up to date and created the .Renviron file in Documents. Made sure there is no .Rprofile file. But I am still getting an error when running the example model.

For execution on a local, multicore CPU with excess RAM we recommend calling
options(mc.cores = parallel::detectCores()).
To avoid recompilation of unchanged Stan programs, we recommend calling
rstan_options(auto_write = TRUE)

Sorry for the delay in getting to this one. Can you post the output from the following commands, I just need some information about your setup:

Sys.getenv("PATH")
Sys.getenv("BINPREF")
readLines("~/.R/Makevars.win")
readLines("~/.Renviron")
readLines("~/.Rprofile")

Sys.getenv(“PATH”)

Can you try reinstalling rstan’s dependencies:

install.packages(c("BH","RcppEigen","RcppParallel"))

And then reinstalling rstan from source:

# Compile packages using all cores
Sys.setenv(MAKEFLAGS = paste0("-j",parallel::detectCores()))

install.packages(c("StanHeaders","rstan"),type="source")
