Overview

About

Maintained by Michael DeWittFirst published 2025-07-301 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Infrastructure and functions that can be used for integrating 'Stan' (Carpenter et al. (2017) doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01) code into stand alone R packages which in turn use the 'CmdStan' engine which is often accessed through 'CmdStanR'. Details given in Stan Development Team (2025) https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/. Using 'CmdStanR' and pre-written 'Stan' code can make package installation easy. Using 'staninside' offers a way to cache user-compiled 'Stan' models in user-specified directories reducing the need to recompile the same model multiple times.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("staninside", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("medewitt/staninside")

Development version from medewitt/staninside. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-staninside

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-staninside

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-staninside

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
