  • Install Unix stata on Ubuntu in Windows Subsystem for Linux

    l'm trying to install Stata on a unix kernel (unbuntu 20.10) installed on WSL on Windows 10 and i get the following error. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

    Code:
      1.  uncompressing files
    
    gzip: ado.tar.Z: not in gzip format
    
    gzip: bins.tar.Z: not in gzip format
    
    gzip: docs.tar.Z: not in gzip format
      2.  extracting files
    tar: bins.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    tar: ado.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    tar: docs.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
      3.  setting permissions
    chmod: cannot access 'stinit': No such file or directory
    chmod: cannot access 'docs': No such file or directory
    chmod: cannot access 'docs/*.pdf': No such file or directory
    chmod: cannot access 'docs/update': No such file or directory
    find: ‘/usr/local/stata/ado’: No such file or directory
    find: ‘/usr/local/stata/ado’: No such file or directory
    
    Done.  The next step is to run the license installer.  Type:
    
            ./stinit
    
    After that, you will be able to run Stata.  Look at your license.
    If the licensed software is Stata/MP 16, you will be able to run
    Stata/MP by typing
            xstata-mp           (Run windowed version of Stata/MP)
            stata-mp            (Run console  version of Stata/MP)
    
    If the licensed software is Stata/SE 16, you will be able to run
    Stata/SE by typing
            xstata-se           (Run windowed version of Stata/SE)
            stata-se            (Run console  version of Stata/SE)
    
    If the licensed software is Stata/IC 16, you will be able to run
    Stata/IC by typing
            xstata              (Run windowed version of Stata/IC)
            stata               (Run console  version of Stata/IC)
    
    Make sure /usr/local/stata is in your Unix path.
    Now run ./stinit

    I posted in haste. Seems like redownloading the installation media fixed this problem. please close this thread.
