Stata® statistical software provides all the features you need for data science and inference–data manipulation, exploration, visualization, statistics, reporting, and reproducibility.

Standard Edition (SE)
Multiprocessor Edition (MP)

Note

Get data from license file

To use a Stata workspace in Domino you must have a valid Stata license file. The license from Stata comes in a PDF file. You need the following data from this file:

Licensed software version (either MP, SE, or BE)
Serial number (12-digit number)
Code (series of nine 4-character codes)
Authorization (4-character code)

Create a license file

Open the Stata environment in Domino.
Right-click the background and go to applications > shells > bash.
Go to the Stata program directory:
```
cd /usr/local/stata
```
As superuser, run the Stata init program:
```
sudo ./stinit
```
Follow the prompts to enter the serial number, code, and authorization.
Follow the additional prompts to enter the organization name and location.

Note

Completing this process generates the Stata license file stata.lic in the stata directory. Copy the contents of this file to a safe location.

Create environment

When you create a Domino workspace environment for Stata, use the following custom base image:
```
quay.io/domino/stata:17
```
