Installing and Uninstalling Notepad++ on Ubuntu

Note to self: Look into VIM and notepadqq or other alternates - shouldnt have to use a windows application on ubuntu.

 

Just a set of terminal commands for installing: 

#The following two lines just ensure latest packages
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
#The following two lines are to be run only install notepad doesn't work 
sudo snap install snapd
sudo snap install core
#The only line doing whats need - the rest are pre-reqs 
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus 
 

Why notepad ++ :

It is a good software for copy pasting information, and can read format various format text - making it easier to read like json and html. So, I am using it as a notes recorder and to read files whose parsers I may not have installed yet. 

 

Just a set of terminal commands for un-installing: 

sudo snap abort --last auto-refresh 
sudo snap disable notepad-plus-plus 
sudo snap remove notepad-plus-plus

Installing Stata-MP on Ubuntu

  Just a set of terminal commands for installing: #The following lines were provided in the installation guide  sudo -s mkdir /tmp/statafiles cd /tmp/statafiles tar -zxf /home/you/Downloads/Stata18Linux64.tar.gz mkdir /usr/local/stata18 cd /usr/local/stata18 /tmp/statafiles/install   #Activating the license ./stinit   #The following line is just because stata-mp wasn't working on my system  # due to a missing library despite having the license  sudo apt install libncurses5    Why Stata : At this stage it is just an experimentation - Python is not as strong with statistics commands as R, I am looking at a way to not to have to move to R for statistical tasks and just connect to stata from python - I KNOW IT WOULD BE BETTER TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE R FROM WITHIN PYTHON. However I have been working at a hospital where most people work with and are comfortable with stata - making it easier to share code for reproducibility and quality checks.
