    Introduction: STATA on JupyterHub

    1. Open your browser and navigate to:


    https://stdwk1. hiebs.hku.hk:8055/

    If you have NOT yet sign-up, please refer to the sign-up guide.

    2. Enter your username and password for JuypterHub and then click on “Sign In”
    3. The “Launcher” page would have appeared. If not, you can click on “+” on the left-hand side panel to open one.

    Click on “+” to
    open a new
    Launcher
    4. There are two STATA icons on the Launcher – the 1st one is under the “Notebook” category while the other is under “Console”. In other words, the
    1st one will be running in Jupyter Notebook and the 2nd one will be running in a terminal mode (text mode).
    5. Click on “STATA” under the “Console” category to open Stata in terminal mode. Note that the page is called “Console 1” to notify that it is in
    terminal mode. Please note that STATA is connected and in idle mode waiting for your inputs in the bottom notification area.
    6. You can type in any STATA command in the input area OR upload any file to your home folder

    Upload files from PC

    Home Folder on server

    Input area
    7. We use the automobile dataset that comes with STATA for illustration. Type in “sysuse auto” in the input area and then press “Shift + Enter” to
    execute the command

    Type in “sysuse auto” → press “Shift +


    Enter” to execute
    8. After the command is submitted, you can find the response/result in the console

    A number here
    means the
    command is
    successfully
    executed

    “Stata| Idle” means STATA


    is waiting for commands
    9. You can type in any STATA commands, e.g. describe, sum etc.
    10. However, for some special commands, you need to add % before the command. Please find below a summary of those commands:

    STATA Command STATA Command


    (Original) (for Jupyterhub)
    browse %browse
    head %head
    tail %tail
    delimit %delimit
    help %help

    11. To read in data, you need to upload the data file first. Remember NOT to include any space or special characters, e.g. &, % etc., in the filename.
    Click on the upload button and choose your file to upload.
    12. You can create a new folder by right-clicking your mouse when pointing to the empty area on the left-hand side panel. Click on the folder to move
    inside.
    13. Enter command in the input area to read the file into STATA: e.g. “import excel “imfdata.xls”, sheet(“Sheet1”) firstrow” → “shift”+”Enter”.

    Note: If you encounter a problem saying that file imfdata.xls not found, you need to change the folder to /data/ by the following command:

    cd ~/data

    You can check the current folder by the following command:

    pwd
    14. You can continue to work on the dataset
    15. However, you cannot save your inputs or result in terminal mode. To save your work, you need to use STATA in Jupyter Notebook. From Launcher,
    click on the 1st STATA icon.

    Can save your commands and


    result as Jupyter notebook

    Can NOT save the


    command as any file
    16. You can work inside Jupyter Notebook with your STATA command
    17. You can read in your data and plot your graph and download it as pdf file

    Download and Print


    button appear when
    pointing on the graph
    18. If you want to save your graph in other formats, you need to export the graph using STATA command. Then, you can download the graphic file
    directly to your PC.

    Graphic file created in


    current folder --
    download by highlight
    the file and right click
    your mouse →
    download
    19. If you have uploaded your do file (OR you can create it on the server by working on a text file), you can execute the following command to submit
    your do file: do filename.do. You can double-click on the do file and edit it online.
    20. You can press “Ctrl+S” to save the notebook OR click on File→ Save Notebook and then rename your file
