Whole Tale STATA installation
This repo can be used to build the stata-install image used
by the Whole Tale repo2docker_wholetale StataBuildPack.
Installing Stata requires access to the Stata installation media as well as a valid license key, both of which must be obtained from STATA. The Linux installation process is interactive and could possibly be scripted (e.g., via expect). However, for our purposes the installation process can me completed and the resulting installed directory copied for Docker image creation.
Build steps:
- Obtain license key
- Download installation media,
- Clone this repo
- Manually install to temporary Docker image
- Copy installation files
- Build image
Obtain license key
Whole Tale uses licenses provided by STATA Corp for use in the platform only. Development licenses are also available. These are available in an email.
Download installation media
Installation media must be downloaded from STATA Corp. Download
information is provided in an email. Remainder of this document assumes that you
store the downloaded source in /src on host machine.
