Using Stata in Batch Mode (command line) in Mac

[George Kariuki]

I am new to this aspect that I read on the internet on its ability to use limited memory space especially when running simulations with complex eclass programs. I however have no idea how to start it off on this mode. I am eager to learn this aspect as I anticipate to write several programs for my thesis bit. Some utility functions I want to estimate on preference require that I do some bit of programming. Thank you.

It would help if you could point out the source where you read this.

Using Stata from console is explained in the section "C.4 Stata(console) for Mac OS X" of the getting started manual

You need to make sure the command line utility is installed, then from the terminal application you just need to type the name of your Stata to start it in the terminal.

stata-mp -q

Is how I normally start things up from the command line.
