Precompiled cmdstan

The GitHub action of this repository compiles several versions of cmdstan on different operating systems and publishes them as GitHub releases. The precompiled versions can be used to slash CI times or build documentation on readthedocs.org.

Example

# Download the release and unpack it for use with `cmdstanpy`.
curl -L -o cmdstan.tar.gz https://github.com/tillahoffmann/precompiled-cmdstan/releases/download/cmdstan-ubuntu-20.04-2.31.0/cmdstan-ubuntu-20.04-2.31.0.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/.cmdstan
tar -xf cmdstan.tar.gz -C ~/.cmdstan

A concrete example is available here as part of the gptools-stan package for performant Gaussian processes in Stan.
