Stata utilities

My Stata miscellaneous .ado programs I use.

Pull into my local project directory:

cd <project_path>

git clone https://github.com/LSYS/stata-utils.git

Then in the relevant/master do file, add:

adopath ++ ./stata-utils

or

adopath ++ <project_path>/stata-utils

Programs

• setup.ado sets up multiple required packages.

  Simple example:

  local req reghdfe coefplot addplot
  setup "`req'"

  Example with a stata-requirements.txt.

  stata-requirements.txt as an example plain text file:

  reghdfe 
  coefplot
  addplot
  

  Read stata-requirements.txt into local macro

  txt2macro stata-requirements.txt
  local req `r(mymacro)'

  and install packages listed in stata-requirements.txt

  setup "`req'"

  (Works like pip install -r requirements.txt)
