Issue with getting started
Closed this issue · 14 comments
Hi,
I'm just trying out -parallel- and am probably running into a basic issue. I'm trying "Example 1" in your minimal examples and am getting the following. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Dave

Works for me on Windows 10 Stata 11.
Seems to me that there's an issue finding stata bin. Can you check if
Stata dir: /Applications/Stata/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/StataMP
exists?
Thanks
Hi all,
Thanks for your response. That directory does not exist.
Thanks,
Dave

That's the issue then. Parallel tries to find the executable file ("Stata.exe") on your computer. If it fails you can always point directly to it using the statapath option, for example
parallel setclusters 4, statapath(c:/stata/stata.exe)
You can do the same thing on Mac (obviously replacing the argument in statapath
Best,
Note that it can be hard to tell if a folder exists on MacOS since application extensions (.app) are usually hidden (so inside /Applications/Stata/ there might just be StataMP) and to get inside the Stata package from the finder you need to Ctrl click the package and choose Show package contents.
That's really helpful Brian. I did that, and now I'm going to have to
revise my response. That directory does exist.
Thanks,
Dave

Has this been resolved? If not, what are the contents of the Stata directory mentioned? I tried this example with Stata 13.1 on MacOS X and it worked fine. Maybe you have a bit of a weird setup.
Closing for now. Reopen if needbe.
Thanks Brian, and sorry for not responding sooner. I haven't been able to
follow up on this, but I'll let you know if I'm still having issues.
Thanks

Hi all,
I just tried this again, and I'm still getting the same error. I verified
that
Stata dir: /Applications/Stata/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/StataMP
exists.
Thanks,

Are you using the latest version?
Thanks for your reply Brian. How would I install the latest version? I just
tried typing "ssc install parallel" again, and got this message:
