Description

Summary:

We need a page for troubleshooting the installation and when the install and rebuild cmdstan scripts fail, they should provide a link to this page.

Description:

I wrote the original version of these scripts and I can't get install to work for me. Pity our users. Installation is critical. Anything we can do, we should.

Research direction

Locate the install and rebuild CmdStan scripts and the existing documentation entry points; the issue names no file paths. Read how those scripts report failures, then create the troubleshooting page and verify that both scripts link to it when installation or rebuilding fails.
