How did you try to install rstan?

3

do you need to try readRDS("file.rds") with quotes?

4

Was the RDS file created with 2.16.2 or an older version of RStan?

Judging from the traceback, it’s not clear to me whether you directly attempted to create an RDS file or not. I’m not even sure if those error messages come from your own R code or not.

It would help if you gave the exact set of steps that you used.
