See [here](https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started#checking-the-c-toolchain) for a guide to installing Rtools for use with Stan (which is the statistical modelling platform used for the underlying model). For simple deployment/development a prebuilt docker image is also available (see documentation [here](https://github.com/epiforecasts/EpiNow2/wiki/Docker)).

Mac users can [follow these steps](https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/Configuring-C---Toolchain-for-Mac), and Linux users can use [this guide](https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/Configuring-C-Toolchain-for-Linux).
