Installation Problems - Load Library Failure

Interfaces RStan
1

Hello! I am new to Stan and this side of R and I am trying to be able to get some scripts up and running. However, whenever I try to run anything regarding the package (both the library() and example() function from the getting started guide) I get the following error:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rstan’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
 unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/colem/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.4/QuickJSR/libs/x64/QuickJSR.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.

As mentioned I am super lost as this is my first foray into doing anything beyond linear modeling in R. Any help would be appreciated!

The error message indicates that one of rstan’s dependencies (QuickJSR) hasn’t installed properly.

Can you try restarting R, making sure that no projects/scripts are loaded, and running:

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

And then trying to load rstan again?

Got it to work! Thank you!
