Error running cmdStan on IBM Power9 System

Is there x86 virtualization available on Power9, like there is for ARM?

You would run stanc3 with virtualization to generate the .hpp file and then compile for Power9 like usually.

@StaffanBetner has used this on ARM before we added the pre-built the ARM Linux binary for stanc3.

See Problem compiling models with cmdstan on arm64 - #4 by StaffanBetner and QEMU emulation of stanc3 on architectures without provided binaries · Issue #956 · stan-dev/cmdstan · GitHub

If this isnt available you could generate it using the stanc3.js. For that you would need node install on the Power9 machine.
