Source Repository

CmdStan's source-code repository is hosted here on GitHub.

Licensing

The Stan-to-C++ compiler written in OCaml, core Stan C++ code, and CmdStan are licensed under new BSD.

Note that the Stan math library depends on the Intel TBB library which is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. This dependency implies an additional restriction as compared to the new BSD lincense alone. The Apache 2.0 license is incompatible with GPL-2 licensed code if distributed as a unitary binary. You may refer to the Apache 2.0 evaluation page on the Stan Math wiki.

Installation

  1. Download the latest release tarball (use the "green" link) from: CmdStan releases
  2. Unpack the tarball.
  3. From the folder, type make for a quick tutorial on how to build models.

Installation using git

See Getting Started with CmdStan for instructions how to clone both CmdStan and Stan submodule.

Troubleshooting

As of version 2.22, CmdStan has switched to the new Stan-to-C++ compiler, called stanc3. This compiler is intended to be backwards compatible with the existing Stan language and should accept all models that compile under the release 2.21 compiler, (see this list of bug fixes).

If a model that compiled for versions prior to 2.22, please report a bug on the stanc3 repository. Otherwise, report the issue to the CmdStan repository.
