Did you verify the installation? According to this page, the code is:
library(rstan)
example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE)
and it should be okay, in my case there is an error:
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!
Error en compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose):

According to this, I tried to install RStan by two methods:
- Windows → RStan → R-Universe
- Windows → RStan → Github (Source)
The first one shows that error; you could say that after the installation, there are errors within RStan and you cannot compile the Stan model. Nothing you can do here.
With the second method, there is another error!

Aviso:
In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/rosgori/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp4Wo5WQ/file3088759845d2/rstan_2.36.0.9000.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
The errors means the installer downloads StanHeaders 2.32.10 for RStan 2.36, but it needs StanHeaders >= 2.36.The last version of StanHeaders is 2.32.10 according to this page
I bet, just like me, you cannot use RStan because of those reasons, and unfortunately the installation for RStan is not working at this moment.
The other option is CmdStanR, but you said you were having problems with the installation.
