Troubleshooting

The CRAN binaries don't always work as downloaded, especially for the Mac OS. If attempts to compile a model file result in an error message of the following form:

Error in stanc(file = file, model_code = model_code, model_name = model_name,  : 
  c++ exception (unknown reason)

you will have to install from source. See: How to Build RStan from Source
