​
Get data from license file

To use a Stata workspace in Domino you must have a valid Stata license file. The license from Stata comes in a PDF file. You need the following data from this file:
  • Licensed software version (either MP, SE, or BE)
  • Serial number (12-digit number)
  • Code (series of nine 4-character codes)
  • Authorization (4-character code)

​
Create a license file

  1. Open the Stata Environment in Domino.
  2. Right-click the background and go to applications > shells > bash.
  3. Go to the Stata program directory: 
    cd /usr/local/stata
  4. As superuser, run the Stata init program: 
    sudo ./stinit
  5. Follow the prompts to enter the serial number, code, and authorization.
  6. Follow the additional prompts to enter the organization name and location.
    These values are not validated and can be your company name and headquarters location.
Completing this process generates the Stata license file stata.lic in the stata directory. Copy the contents of this file to a safe location.

​
Create Environment

  1. When you create a Domino workspace Environment for Stata, use the following custom base image: 
    quay.io/domino/stata:17
  2. Update the Dockerfile instructions with the following Docker commands. 
    ENV STATA_VERSION="MP"
RUN apply-license “<url_to_license_file>”
    Ensure the STATA_VERSION matches the customers’ licensed version. The version must be MP, SE, or BE.
  3. Paste the following code into the Environments pluggable workspace properties. 
    stata:
