  • Unable to download a package

    Dear Community members,

    I am a user of Stata14. I want to conduct bivariate nonparametric analysis for which I wanted to use Stata's bidensity package.

    However, the ssc install command gives the result:

    Code:
    . ssc install bidensity
    connection timed out -- see help r(2) for troubleshooting
    http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/b/ either
      1)  is not a valid URL, or
      2)  could not be contacted, or
      3)  is not a Stata download site (has no stata.toc file).
    r(2);
    Furthermore, I tried to download the .ado file from http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/b/ but it opens an html text script. I do not know how to execute that text, or save it as a .ado file.

    Kindly help, if you have suggestions.

    Best,
    Pranav

    If the problem persists, I'd advise study of

    Code:
    help netio
    especially whether you need to specify to Stata how it should access stuff:

    Code:
      Turn on or off the use of a proxy server
    
            set httpproxy {on|off} [, init]
    
    
        Set proxy host name
    
            set httpproxyhost ["]name["]
    
    
        Set the proxy port number
    
            set httpproxyport #
