hi Linux users out there, pls report back if the install works. cheers

IMPORTANT: It appears automatic updating with these serial codes does not work anymore (you can still initialize=start using Stata though!). To manually update Stata follow these steps:
1. download appropriate updates from here: https://www.stata.com/support/updates/
2. extract the zip archive
3. type "db update" in Stata (once you've installed and initialized it) and then locate the extracted folder with updates on your hard drive
4. congrats, your Stata is now updated

Hi, Thanks for the great upload, but when I try to install it I keep getting an error message that says install files are missing.

I extracted the .zip file to my Desktop, went to the linux.32 folder and made the files install and setwrxp executable.

I then created the install directory for stata with the command:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/stata12

then cd into /usr/local/stata12 and run the command

sudo $HOME/Deskop/Stata12_Linux/linux.32/install

But then I got the terminal output

"Stata 12 installation
---------------------

The installation files are missing

(no action taken)
"

I have tried extracting the .taz files with the same result.

Please help! I am trying to install stata12 on Ubuntu11.04. Thanks

P.S. For those who are interested in installing on Ubuntu 11.04, two more things need to be done

Run in terminal

a) sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
b) sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0

https://jonas.ranstam.se/2011/08/01/stata-v12-with-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/

Oh forgot to mention, these are the contents of my linux.32 folders:

ado.taz,base.taz, bin.taz ,doc.taz, install, setwrxp

(same in linux.64)

Thanks again

@kammon sorry mate, I'm not using linux so I can't really help you here. I just uploaded these files hoping they work... maybe others can help you. good luck!

Has anyone figured out how to install onto Ubuntu 11.10, or any other distribution for that matter?

I haven't install Stata 12 for Linux yet (I have a previous legal copy), but I have checked install script. I feel I can figure out a potential reason for the installation error reported by @kammon

The install script looks for the following files (line 9 in script)

ado.tar.Z base.tar.Z bins.tar.Z statalib.tar.Z docs.tar.Z

or otherwise it ends with the "missing files" error describe above (check in line 75 and message in line 86 in script)

But as @kammon explain the included files are with extension .taz (not .tar.Z).

Maybe changing the extension (or the install script) will help.

Hi zoco,

Thanks for the tips. I looked at the install script and indeed as you say the extension should be tar.Z. But more seriously statalib is missing in this torrent.

Hi zoco,

Thanks for the hint. I have looked at the install script and indeed it should be tar.Z, but more seriously statalib is missing from this torrent, no wonder it won't install! Have to get that missing one somewhere..

hey guys, so I'm really sorry Stata doesn't work out of the box. Now I know this is not the best solution, but have you thought about modifying the install script so that it would ignore statalib package? I had a look at the Stata 10 linux install (the only Linux version I could find) and it contains the same packages except statalib. I'm not saying that package is not important, but *maybe* you can get Stata running without it too? Have a look at the install script used by Stata 10 and *maybe* you can draw some parallels and get Stata 12 running on your Linux too by bypassing statalib - at least for the time being before the full Linux version is found... (I've downloaded the DMG image I could find here on TPB, converted it to IMG, extracted the unix files and then uploaded just the 6 Linux versions to Bayfiles - https://bayfiles.com/file/2w0p/aLtZvF/Stata10_Linux_installation.rar). Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!

Everything works fine in Ubuntu 11.10 until

12) sudo cp bins/stinit .


Just get this

/usr/local/stata12$ sudo cp bins/stinit .
cp: cannot stat `bins/stinit': No such file or directory


Any ideals?

Thanks for this upload!!

ECONbook I think that maybe you haven't unpack the .taz folders. Try to repeat from point 5 avoiding steps 8,9 and 10 in the following step by step.

1.- Unzip the file Stata12_Linux
2.- Now from terminal:
cd YOUR_PATH/Stata12_Linux/linux.32/
or
cd YOUR_PATH/Stata12_Linux/linux.64/
3.- sudo mkdir /usr/local/stata12/
4.- sudo mv * /usr/local/stata12/
5.- cd /usr/local/stata12/
6a.- sudo tar -xzvf docs.taz
6b.- sudo tar -xzvf base.taz
6c.- sudo tar -xzvf bins.taz
6d.- sudo tar -xzvf ado.taz
7.- sudo chmod -R 755 .
8.- sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview-3.0-common
9.- sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
10.- sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0
11.- sudo sh setrwxp now
12.- sudo gedit stata.lic
Inside stata.lic file add the following line:
93611859953!m2bf axet 8n $ c q19i mrw0 59e7 1qi!6ym4!USERNAME!INSTITUTION!1308!
13.- After stata.lic is saved. You should be able to start stata by running

./xstata

Finally, you can put the running files in your console PATH by editing your bashrc file
gedit ~/.bashrc
and inserting

PATH=/usr/local/stata12/:"${PATH}"

on the first line or by creating a launcher pointing to /usr/local/stata12/xstata in your menu.

Improved step by step version

Before starting:
sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview-3.0-common
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0

1.- Unzip the file Stata12_Linux
2.- Choose 32bits or 64bits
cd YOUR_PATH/Stata12_Linux/linux.32/
or
cd YOUR_PATH/Stata12_Linux/linux.64/
3.- tar -xzvf docs.taz
4.- tar -xzvf base.taz
5.- tar -xzvf bins.taz
6.- tar -xzvf ado.taz
7.- sudo mkdir /usr/local/stata12
8.- mv * /usr/local/stata12/
9.- cd /usr/local/stata12/
10.- sudo chmod -R 755 .
11.- sudo sh setrwxp now
12.- sudo ./stinit
Use the Serial Number, Code and Authorization given by SloveniaX

Congratulations!! Stata 12 is installed.
./xstata

I followed bazzingha's instructions, but at the end of the process I couldn't run Stata's GUI version (xstata) and received the following error message:

./xstata: error while loading shared libraries: libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you are experiencing this problem, do the following:

1. Download the deb package that corresponds to your processor type (32-bit or 64-bit) from https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/maverick/universe/base/libgtksourceview1.0-0.

2. Install the deb package using the Ubuntu Software Center.

Then run xstata again. It should work.

Hello everyone, great help so far.

I've followed the steps from @bazzingha and received the same error as @TH4N4T0S. When I try to install the suggested deb package I get the following error:
Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtksourceview-common (>= 1.8).
Any suggestions?

Seed please or tell me wherelse I can download this? Plz.

Thx. Everything is ok. bazzingha's instruction is very helpful and working.

I followed the steps at the following link from "#make a symbolic link..." onwards after doing the steps outlined by bazingha.

https://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-10/msg00689.html

Everything now works.

Thank you so much!! I will copy paste the complete set of instruction which worked perfectly on my machine:

I used Marc1s, as posted by SloveniaX. All worked perfectly, except the licensing bit. This is what I did:

After step 13. do this instead in terminal:

14. cd /usr/local/stata12/bins/
15. /usr/local/stata12/bins/stinit
16. Follow the instructions in the terminal. When you get to the part about serial nr, code etc, use the ones in SloveniaX' description.
17. Now you have a stata.lic file in the /bins directory. Move this file into the main directory:
/usr/local/stata12/
You probably need sudo-permissions, can't remember. If so, do this in order to open nautilus in superuser mode:
gksu nautilus

This worked for me, on Ubuntu 11.04

Thank you SloveniaX for this great upload, and thanks to marc1s for the (almost) perfect install instructions!! Cheers everybody.

worked fine on debian wheezy 64-bit :)

# fisrt, the usual procedure described before: unzip the file
cd [Your_Dir]/Stata12_Linux/linux.64/
sudo mkdir /usr/local/stata12/
sudo mv * /usr/local/stata12/
cd /usr/local/stata12/
sudo tar -xzvf docs.taz
sudo tar -xzvf base.taz
sudo tar -xzvf bins.taz
sudo tar -xzvf ado.taz

# then what i did:
sudo chmod -R 755 *
sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview2.0-0 libgtksourceview-3.0-0 libgtksourceview2.0-common libgtksourceview-3.0-common libgnomeprint2.2-0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
sudo sh setrwxp now
sudo ./stinit
# enter the licence

=> launch stata with "xstata"

many thanks to uploader and marc1s for the procedure

Hey friends,

I'm having a tough problem with Stata that seems like it could have an easy fix. First off, only a few commands actually work for me, such as "about" or "summarize." All other commands, such as "graph" don't work, and give me the prompt: unrecognized command: graph
r(199);

I assume this is an update problem, so when I tried to manually update (automatic update doesn't work with this serial code), I realized "db update" doesn't work for me, either. "update" and update all" are recognized, but "db update" is an unrecognized command.

What can I do? I'm basically disabled from doing anything because my commands are not recognized.

If it helps, I also received the "file stata12.mnu not found" error every time I start up.

Stata 13 is out now. Retail install with SE or MP licence would be great!
