How do I install custom Stata ado-files?
Instructions for installing your own ado-files in Stata can be found in the Stata 11 documentation. To find the appropriate section of the manual, do the following:
-
Launch an instance of RCE Powered Stata.
-
Select Help–>PDF Documentation. Adobe Reader will open, displaying the combined subject table of contents.
-
From the navigation bar on the left, expand “User’s Guide”, then click “Table of contents”.
-
Select chapter 17, “Ado-files”. In particular, section 17.7, “How do I add my own ado-files?”, will be relevant. Section 17.7 shows the result of running the ‘sysdir’ command from within a Stata session. While the documentation shows this command being run on a Windows system, you will see different results in the RCE. Copy your ado-files to the PERSONAL directory, as shown in the output of the
sysdircommand.
