Trying to install r-stan without using rocker

Hi All,

   I found your mailing list via a stack overflow mention.  I?m currently on my second full day of trying to build a docker container to use as an AWS lambda fcn and am feeling pretty stuck - I was hoping someone here could help.  It needs to support python+R+rstan.

I currently construct the docker image from a python/debian base image.  I can get R working fine, but when I try to run an r-stan script within the lambda function I get a ?there is no package called Stan?, despite a good 5 minutes of the image build being dedicated to the download of rstan.  Am looking for advice here on how to proceed.  My current dockerfile follows?

Where the script install_rstan.R is:

# Following instructions from

print("Running install_stan.R")

## Creating /home/rstudio/.R/Makevars

dotR <- file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), ".R")
if (!file.exists(dotR)) dir.create(dotR)
M <- file.path(dotR, "Makevars")
if (!file.exists(M)) file.create(M)
cat("\nCXX14FLAGS=-O3 -march=native -mtune=native -fPIC",
    "CXX14=clang++",
    file = M, sep = "\n", append = TRUE)

## Installing rstan

install.packages("rstan", dependencies=TRUE, type = "source")

Any help would be massively appreciated.
