Warning message:
There was a problem during installation. See the error message(s) above.
The German bits just say that it can’t find the files with this pattern (line 2-3 above) and that the system can’t find the file (line 8 above). I think at least the second is referring to bin/stanc.exe, right?
It’s probably something obvious, but I’m not that well versed with these kind of things…
Maybe @jonah or @rok_cesnovar can come to my rescue?
Cheers!

ps: I think I said it before, but cmdstanr is really awesome (it works on my other Win10 laptop)! :)

the error message indicates that for some reason, the install step which downloads the stanc.exe file from GitHub failed.
I would suggest trying to install the release version v2.22.1:
install_cmdstan(release_url="https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan/releases/download/v2.22.1/cmdstan-2.22.1.tar.gz")
good luck!
Thanks @mitzimorris, but unfortunately running install_cmdstan(release_url="https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan/releases/download/v2.22.1/cmdstan-2.22.1.tar.gz", overwrite = TRUE) resulted in the same error. :(
error that you can’t download from GitHub - similar to error above or exactly the same?

OK, I see at least one problem - the release doesn’t include a pre-compiled windows exe.
in addition to problem that there’s no nightly download build for windows available either.
investigating.

hi @Max_Mantei -
could you do me a favor and check whether or not you can download either of the following URLs:
https://github.com/stan-dev/stanc3/releases/download/nightly/windows-stanc
https://github.com/stan-dev/stanc3/releases/download/v2.22.1/windows-stanc
I see why things are failing for the v2.22.1 release - there was a bug in the makefile which has since been fixed. the question is why are the downloads from the nightly release failing? @serban-nicusor or @rok_cesnovar?
the workaround would require you to copy a few files and change executable perms - if you can download the windows-stanc file, then you want to copy it to path .cmdstanr/cmdstan/bin/stanc3.exe and change file permissions - chmod +x - i.e., make it executable.

just to clarify, by default, CmdStanR creates directory "$HOME/.cmdstanr " and inside that, you have directories name cmdstan for whatever you get from CmdStan develop branch from github, or the specified release name. the stanc compiler is found in a subdir named bin.
putting that together, the file you need to have is “$HOME/.cmdstanr/cmdstan/bin/stanc.exe” and it needs to be runnable - is this clear?

I think the problem is Windows 7 doesnt have curl yet.

same here - they work for me.
OTOH, looking at CmdStan 2.22.1 release tarball - the windows-stanc exe is missing.
~/tmp> tar zxf cmdstan-2.22.1.tar.gz
~/tmp> ls cmdstan-2.22.1/bin
linux-stanc mac-stanc
will file an issue for you
not sure if this is worth fixing - the makefile had a bug as well.
Yes, that is why we decided to not include the windows binary.

@Max_Mantei You have 2 options:
Oh and thanks for the kind words!

Both work.
This is clear, thank you. However, the process is a bit weird, because everytime I run install_cmdstan I have to run it with overwrite = TRUE. I can’t manually put the stanc.exe there before the error. So it downloads, tries to install and throws the error. I think I need to manually install cmdstan then?
Also, what’s a bit weird: I could use install_cmdstan() just fine on my Windows 10 laptop a few weeks ago…
Aha!
Will try this! Thank you!

Make sure curl --version works from the command line and you should be good to go.

I just had to add C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\ to PATH to make curl work and this did the trick! Thank you for that prompt reply and the super helpful link!
Thank you @mitzimorris for lookin into this. You helped me understand what was going on. Also, thanks to @serban-nicusor for checking in.
Hope you’re all safe! Cheers! :)
