### Overview 

The __rstantools__ package provides tools for developing R packages interfacing

with [Stan](https://mc-stan.org/). The package vignettes provide guidelines and

recommendations for developers as well as a demonstration of creating a working

R package with a pre-compiled Stan program.

 

* [Guidelines for developers of R Packages interfacing with Stan](https://mc-stan.org/rstantools/articles/developer-guidelines.html)

* [Step by step guide for creating a package that depends on RStan](https://mc-stan.org/rstantools/articles/minimal-rstan-package.html)

### Resources

* [mc-stan.org/rstantools](https://mc-stan.org/rstantools) (online documentation, vignettes)

* [Ask a question](https://discourse.mc-stan.org) (Stan Forums on Discourse)

* [Open an issue](https://github.com/stan-dev/rstantools/issues) (GitHub issues for bug reports, feature requests)
