STATA in DataIku

[farshadhs]

Hi all,

I am aiming at running Jupyter notebooks with STATA interpretation capability. I wonder if there has been any similar efforts so far. It would be great to give me some hints.

Useful links:

I could install STATA on the DSS VM. However, I could not run the examples of STATA code it in the Jupyter notebook:

%%stata

UsageError: Cell magic `%%stata` not found.

How would you consider the installation directory of STATA? And how to resolve Cell magic error, assuming its a IPython kernel issue?

If new environment is needed, how do you recommend creating a new environment? maybe by conda?!

Much appreciate it! 🙂

Cheers, Farshad

Start by creating a new code environment in Dataiku and not using Conda to manage. Basically leave all new code env defaults other than the Python version required for your package.

Then create a new Jupyter notebook using the new code env you created. Or change the kernel on the existing notebook via the Kernel menu option.

Thanks, what I did:

I installed the STATA for Linux on the DSS VM, and create a new environment with the required packages. Jupyter notebooks are enabled to use pystata for SATA 🙂
