STEPS ON HOW TO USE STATA SOFTWARE
Extract the Stata package whereever you like (C or D drive)
Stata always checks for updates ==> means there's a possibility that the company will block your access to the software
So we need to stop this from happening, use the following steps (We are preventing the computer from accessig the stata website)
Note: After the following steps, you will not be able to access www.stata.com from any of your browsers
SINCE THIS IS A SYSTEM FILE, IT IS DANGEROUS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN WHAT IT WRITTEN BELOW
1 - Press start, search for Notepad
2 - Right click and Run as administrator and confirm Yes (You will be asked if you allow the software to make changes to your device)
Now we have elevated privileges to edit system files through Notepad
3 - Within Notepad, click File ==> Open
4 - Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
5 - At the bottom right, select All Files instead the of default Text Documents (.txt)
6 - You'll see previously hidden files, Select hosts (on some computers there's a duplicate hosts file with iCalendar file type)
7 - Once you open hosts file, go to the end and paste the following text (Notice, it is similar to the existing ones)
127.0.0.1 www.stata.com
What this line does is telling the computer prohibit access to www.stata.com from any software
8 - Save the file and close it
9 - Check if you can access the site using your browser (eg. Chrome), you should see something like This site can’t be reached www.stata.com refused to connect.
Stata will as usual tries to connect to the website to look for updates, and after some time give you information it cannot do so
