To catch up with the class login to the machines (see the white board or black board for login instructions).

If you are using your own laptop, make sure you have internet access and access to Stata.

Run Stata (in the Start menu type: Stata, and choose Stata 11 or 12/13 if available)

Once Stata is open, in the command window type:

do "http://dss.princeton.edu/training/Hurry.do"

The program above will run a series of commands from the first part of the class.

Chances are you may be ahead, you will notice this if when typing you get errors like -variable already created-.

You need to open the Do-file editor, in the command window type:

doedit

This is the word editor for Stata, you can run commands from there and save them for your records.

To review the contents of the procedure you just ran, go here

http://dss.princeton.edu/training/Hurry.do

 You can copy-and-paste them to the do-file editor or review them later.

All the output produced by the do-file and anything you typed during your Stata session will be saved in a file called

mylog.log

It is in the working directory and can be read by Word or notepad. To see the working directory type:

pwd
