Rstan for R versions 3.1.3?

Question

I cannot get Rstan because my R version is too recent.

    > install.packages("rstan")
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘rstan’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.1.3)

Is there anyway to download rstan for this version? Do I need to downgrade my R version in order to use rstan?

Answer 1

As pointed out by @Dason, rstan is not on CRAN. The line to install rstan is on the getting started page . Here is the line:

    source('http://mc-stan.org/rstan/install.R', echo = TRUE, max.deparse.length = 2000)
install_rstan()

My apologies for overlooking this.

Reinstalling rstan might fix this issue as well!
