# STATA im Browser

This source provides instructions for accessing the statistical software package **STATA** via a web browser through the university's **Apphub** infrastructure.

## Key Access Methods
The software is accessible to users with a university ID (UID) via two primary paths in Apphub:
1. **Direct Execution**: Found under the "JUPYTER" menu $\rightarrow$ "STATA".
2. **Virtual Desktop**: Found under the "DESKTOP" menu $\rightarrow$ "STATISTICS" image. This image is a bundled environment that includes STATA, R, and SPSS.

## Technical Requirements and Constraints
- **Network Access**: The service is only reachable from the university network (Uninetz) or via [[vpn]].
- **Session Management**: Users must set a maximum runtime limit before starting the application or image.
- **Data Exchange**: For the virtual desktop image, [[nextcloud]] is the recommended method for file exchange. This requires:
    - Storing credentials in the Apphub menu.
    - Activating the "Nextcloud" option under "ADVANCED" settings before starting the image.
    - Accessing files via the internal browser (Firefox) or the integrated file manager.

## Support and Resources
- A video tutorial for the desktop image is available via [[grypstube]].
- Technical support is provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via their ticket system or hotline (ext. 1420).
