Error messages when running example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE)

[ndcn0002]

Hi All,

I'm new to rstan. I just installed rstan by:

  install.packages("rstan", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))

Once it was installed, I loaded libraries StanHeaders and rstan

  library(StanHeaders)
  library(rstan)

Then I ran:

  example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE)

which gave me a lot of messages (400 lines) which ended with the following:

  Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!
  Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) : 
  Error in system(paste(MAKE, p1(paste("-f", shQuote(makefiles))), "compilers"),  :   'make' not foundCalls: <Anonymous> -> 
  .shlib_internal -> systemExecution halted

So I assumed I did something wrong or missed some installation steps. Any advice would be very much appreciated

Thanks!
