Run CmdStan on Linux: Error 1 [No such file or directory]

After installing CmdStan on a Linux machine, I get an error message when running make commands in the cmdstand folder. I both tried to clone CmdStan from the GitHub Repository and to download the cmdstan-2.25.0.tar.gz, and unpack it with tar -xvzf cmdstan-2.25.0.tar.gz.

--- Compiling the main object file. This might take up to a minute. ---

What does

g++ —version return

That is recent enough.

What does

ls src/cmdstan

return?

Ah okay, I feel that we are close to solving the problem.

It returns src/cmdstan: No such file or directory.

cmdstan is installed in the directory home/username.

And inside the cmdstan folder, there is a folder src. This is how it automatically created these folders.

So the src inside cmdstan is empty? That would be weird.

Sorry, I was not in the cmdstan directory. It returns

ls src/cmdstan
arguments     io         print_helper.hpp  stansummary_helper.hpp   write_parallel_info.hpp
command.hpp   main.cpp   stanc.cpp         write_model.hpp          write_stan.hpp
diagnose.cpp  print.cpp  stansummary.cpp   write_opencl_device.hpp

The problem is then that

is missing some flags. -I src/ for starters. Is upgrading make an option?

I will ask the server adminstator and hope that he can update it. Thanks, I will report back if it helped.
