I am using RStudio version 1.2.x or greater, but click on File -> New File -> Stan File No Stan File

Short summary of the problem
I complet novice. I followed the installation instruction from the GitHub: RStan Getting Started. I got there from http://mc-stan.org/.
I opened a new file and ran:
library(“rstan”) # observe startup messages
options(mc.cores = parallel::detectCores())

Everything seemed to work.

But when I clicked on FIle->New File->Stan File, there was no Stan file on the list.
I then copied the “Example ! Eight Schools” shown and it didn’t run

I am SURE others have made the mistakes I made, but I cannot find the thread, so I created this topic to try to get help.

Please help!
