Description
Summary:
Whenever I try and load rstanarm, library(rstanarm), it freezes at the step Loading required package: Rcpp.
RStanARM Version:
The version of the rstanarm package you are running (e.g., from packageVersion("rstanarm"))
R Version:
I'm running R 4.0.5. Should I upgraded to a newer version of R?
Operating System:
I'm running Windows 10, 64-bit
This is where it gets hung up and just stays there, freezing R.
