XAMPP to the MaxĪs a free and open-source solution, XAMPP is a common option for web developers and testers running on a tight budget. If everything’s OK, you should see your PHP file open in your browser.
Before we start, here is a word of warning: don’t enter the full stops at the end of the commands, as they are only there for grammatical purposes. Name the file and change its extension from txt to php.
Go to the folder you created in the previous step and create a new text file in it. If you don’t have the file and you want to create your first PHP file to test XAMPP, here’s what to do. Once you’ve located it, copy and paste it into the folder you created in the previous step. If you already have a file that you want to open with XAMPP, browse for it. Alternatively, you can name it “NewProject,” “Project 1,” or give it any other name. There, create a new folder and name it after the file you’ll copy into it. Once you get to the XAMPP’s main folder, go to the htdocs folder. Rhocon's github article for a similar approach.I found adding an extra space at the end of my code, or a superfluous log close does the trick. Note: for some reason I have run across some issues running do files in batch mode from the Unix terminal and such. Now when you use Sublime Text,, simply typing ctrl+b executes Stata externally and runs the do-file you're currently editeing. Save, restart Sublime Text for safe keeping, and you're good to go. Seriously-just copy and paste over the stuff in the original text file. Last, open the Stata.sublime-build file located in /.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Stata/ directory. Confirm that the files appear with, typing ls -ld. Notice, sometimes these files are hidden from the user in the terminal so they may be hard to find. If you're new to Linux, this file is likely in the folder //.config/sublime-text-3/Packages.
Within the ZIP file from is a /Stata directory-find it and place it in the Sublime /Packages directory on your Linux system.
The following Stata package definitely works in Linux, so we'll use it! Download it from. Of course you can edit this to match the version of Stata (and flavor) you are using.
Sudo ln -s /usr/local/stata14/xstata /usr/local/bin/xstata & sudo ln -s /usr/local/stata14/stata /usr/local/bin/stata The gist of creating a link in the terminal is the following, ln -s Sublime, Stata & Unix Walk Into a Bar:įirst, from your terminal create symbolic links for xStata and Stata commands. The following is a little integration guide, which is indebted to this Github howto here.
While it is straightforward to run Stata do-files from Sublime Text in Mac OS and Windows, using packages like Sublime Stata Enhanced, it wasn't obvious how to do so in Linux. Moreover, since many people are simultaneously juggling Python, R, and Stata (and more) scripts for a single project, the ability to work from one programming-oriented environment is nice. Sublime, like many of these programming-oriented editing notepads, have massively powerful tools that crush Stata's default editor. Here's a quick note on connecting a powerful coding notepad in Linux to Stata.
I am used to writing code in notepad programs, such as N++ and the fantastic Sublime Text 3. Quick Notes - Coding Stata do-files with Sublime in Unix/Linux
