copied!<p>I wrote that I would post what I learned. </p> <p>The university Supercomputing Center believes that RStan will run on their machines. However, I must apply for an account, which might take some time. So, I will not be certain that RStan will run on those machines for a while yet. For what it is worth the formal name of their facility is the 'Arctic Region Supercomputing Center'.</p> <p>I had trouble installing RStan on my desktop and had to get OIT assistance. So, here are the steps I used and the code used by the OIT gentleman. I have a Windows 7 Professional operating system.</p> <ol> <li><p>I had to use R 2.15.1</p></li> <li><p>I installed R in the directory 'C:\R\R-2.15.1' so there would be no spaces in the directory name</p></li> <li><p>I had to install Rtools.</p></li> <li><p>I installed Rtools in the directory 'C:\Rtools'</p></li> <li><p>Make sure that Rtools appears in the path so that R can locate the C++ compiler in Rtools</p></li> <li><p>To check:</p> <p>Computer, Properties, Advanced System Setting, Environment Variables, Path.</p> <p>I think I should include both: 'c:\Rtools\bin' and: 'c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin'</p></li> <li><p>Open R</p></li> <li><p>Here is the R code to type (this code appears here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/stan/wiki/RStanGettingStarted" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/stan/wiki/RStanGettingStarted</a>):</p> <p>install.packages('inline')</p> <p>install.packages('Rcpp')</p> <p>install.packages('RcppEigen')</p> <p>options(repos = c(getOption("repos"), rstan = "http://wiki.stan.googlecode.com/git/R"))</p> <p>install.packages('rstan', type = 'source')</p> <p>library(rstan)</p></li> <li><p>Then I ran the school example from here:</p></li> </ol> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/stan/wiki/RStanGettingStarted" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/stan/wiki/RStanGettingStarted</a></p> <p>Last week I had been trying to install STAN using instructions contained within the pdf file 'stan-reference-1.0.2' instead of the instructions at the above link.</p> <p>I hope this helps others. If and when I learn whether RStan definitely will run on the Supercomputing Center machines I will post here what I learn.</p> <p>I have not uninstalled STAN to test the above procedure. Hopefully I did not make any errors in the above steps.</p>
