Additional Information:

I have probably fixed this before, but currently, I don’t remember what I did, so I added this issue and at the same time we can document the fix.

Works fine with Ubuntu 18

Current Version:

cmdstanpy master cmdstan 2.20

hmm, looks like we need more documentation on function install_cxx_toolchain - https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/blob/master/cmdstanpy/install_cxx_toolchain.py (unit tests here: https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/blob/master/test/test_cxx_installation.py)

try this:

from cmdstanpy import install_cxx_toolchain
config = install_cxx_toolchain.get_config('C:\\RTools', True)
install_cxx_toolchain.get_toolchain_name()

Yes.

I hope in future we can have those few missing tools from conda, so we would not need to recommend different environments for pystan and cmdstanpy.
