Fail to install rstan

General

Start with a short summary of your inquiry.

Hi, I am new to Rstan but I cannot install Rstan. I referred to these two page.

Installing Rstan - Interfaces - The Stan Forums (mc-stan.org)

After trying to update brms cannot run model - Interfaces - The Stan Forums (mc-stan.org)

Thanks to these two article, I could install StanHeaders but, there is a issue in rstan complication.

I guess This might caused by gcc. I want your help. My environment is as follows

  • Windows 10
  • R 4.0.3
  • gcc version 8.3.0 (Built by Jeroen for the R-project)
  • StanHeader 2.21.0-7

I run

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

and it failed with this long code

Sorry this question got left behind. I am not a Windows user but hopefully this will bump the message back up to the top of the forums.

Thanks for bumping @Ara_Winter!

@Haruhisa_Nakadaira try using the preview of the next version of rstan. Restart R, making sure that rstan doesn’t get loaded, and run:

remove.packages(c("StanHeaders", "rstan"))
install.packages("StanHeaders", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
install.packages("rstan", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
