Thank you for the reply! Something is still wrong. I have run through a number of threads and nothing has worked as of yet. Here are a few things I have tried to better understand the problem: pkgbuild::with_build_tools(print(“hello”), debug = TRUE) Error: Could not find tools necessary to compil…

What is in C:/RBuildTools/3.5/bin ?

It seems that you are using R 3.6.3 but trying to use the build tools under C:/RBuildTools/3.5 . I would uninstall the 3.5 stuff if you are not using it.

Are you suggesting that I install an older version of build tools? I tried that and am still not successful. Again, I appreciate your help. This is a fantastic community

No, I mean if you get rid of R 3.5, then it will install the RTools that works with R 3.6.

Where are you seeing that I have R 3.5? Everywhere I look suggests I have 3.6.3. I am walking around in the dark a bit. Thank you for your patience

It is possible that you have already uninstalled R 3.5.x, in which case you just need to uninstall RBuildTools. It will get reinstalled for 3.6 when you do pkgbuild::has_build_tools(TRUE) from R 3.6.x.

No dice. I uninstalled R, RStudio, all of my packages, Rtools, and removed all of the R related Path variables. I then installed R, Rstudio, RStan, and Rtools. I ran pkgbuild::has_build_tools(debug = TRUE) and I still get the pop-up to install Rtools. and [1] FALSE

Help with Rstan installation, please

Or you can do

library(rstan)
rstan_options(check = FALSE)
