Install STATA 10 under Linux (Take Ubuntu 7.04 for Example)
-
To start, copy the file “install” and the folder “unix” from Installation CD into “/home/yourname/stata10install”.
-
Change current directory into “/home/yourname/stata10install” by typing the following commands into console: cd /home/yourname/stata10install
-
Make the “install” file executable: chmod 755 install
-
Create destination folder for Stata 10 installation: sudo mkdir /usr/local/stata10
-
Change current directory into “/usr/local/stata10” by typing in the console: cd /usr/local/stata10
-
Now you are in the designation folder, execute the installation script by typing the following commands: /home/yourname/stata10install/install
-
Follow the instructions of STATA install program, be careful, when you are asked to specify which STATA for PC Linux you wish to install, choose Stata for PC Linux, statically linked
- Now make links so everyone can run STATA
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/stata10/stata-se stata
sudo ln -s /usr/local/stata10/xstata-se xstata
That's all, enjoy. :-) If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
