Install Rstan fails

I have problems in installing RStan. I always get the following error:
" Installation des Pakets ‘rstan’ hatte Exit-Status ungleich 0"

I tried different commands, latest I used
install.packages(“rstan”, repos=“https://cloud.r-project.org/”, dependencies=TRUE)

I also tried the commands on the GitHub site of Rstan:

Add Michael Rutter’s c2d4u3.5 PPA (and rrutter3.5 for CRAN builds too)

sudo add-apt-repository -y “ppa:marutter/rrutter4.0”
sudo add-apt-repository -y “ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5”
sudo apt update
sudo apt install r-cran-rstan

In this case, it always fails by "sudo add-apt-repository -y “ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5"” :
bash: sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
(In English it says that the file or directory was not found)

My system: Ubuntu 20.04LTS, R-Version 4.04

Best wishes, Marcel11

Have you tried removing rstan first and then follow along with this:

I am on Ubuntu 20 and when I upgraded to R 4.0 it was a nightmare trying to get rstan and other Stan related packages reinstalled.

I’ve updated the installation instructions for 21.04 and tested them in a clean docker image, can you try the instructions here: Configuring C Toolchain for Linux · stan-dev/rstan Wiki · GitHub and let me know if you run into any issues?
