Hello,

I am trying to install stan on my windows computer. I am using the following guidelines:

I have followed each step and each time I run the example code to test whether it is working, it continues to redownload the tools package. Any guidance in addressing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Here is the error message I am getting:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! C:/Users/coyles/Documents/.R/Makevars.win:1: *** missing separator. Stop.

print(fit)
Error in print(fit) : object ‘fit’ not found

This file got messed up somehow. What is the output of

writeLines(readLines("~/.R/Makevars.win"))

?

Thanks for your response. Here is the output :

writeLines(readLines(“~/.R/Makevars.win”))

You certainly don’t need all those lines several times. I would try

file.remove("~/.R/Makevars.win")

and then

install.packages("https://win-builder.r-project.org/9lJAt18Tb6mf/StanHeaders_2.18.1-10.zip", repos = NULL)
install.packages("https://win-builder.r-project.org/OP272u474CMQ/rstan_2.19.1.zip", repos = NULL)
