Spost package

[Ionas Papassotiriou]

I use STATA 13.1 however I cannot find and isntall the spost packages . When I search for these packages and click on them I get the following messege:

Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
https://jslsoc.sitehost.iu.edu/stata/ 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(5100);

This worked for me:

. net install spost13_ado, from(https://jslsoc.sitehost.iu.edu/stata)
checking spost13_ado consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into c:\ado\plus\...
installation complete.

So 1 and 3 can be ruled out, which leaves 2. Are you on a university network that restricts downloading?

Ionas Papassotiriou Apparently someone had this issue before in Stata 13. You can try to follow the advice given here: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...ad-spost13_ado
