Basically…

1. Right click on the folder you put all your stuff in, and click on “properties.”
2. Then you’ll see something called “Location: C:/Users/Emma/Documents/Folder” or something like that.
3. You’d then change directory in Stata by entering “cd “C:/Users/Emma/Documents/Folder”

Mac

It’s a very similar process!

1. Right click on the folder you put all your stuff in, and click on “info.”
2. You’ll see something like “Where: iCloud Drive > Documents > Student > Folder,” with tiny black arrows. That will not look like a file path.
3. But, if you select it, copy it and paste it, it will paste as “/Users/Student/Documents/Folder”
4. You’d then change directory in Stata by entering cd “/Users/Student/Documents/Folder”

OR

1. Right click on the folder you put all your stuff in, so a menu pops up
2. Press the option key, and see how the menu now has an option that says “copy NAME as path”. Select that option
3. Paste it in Stata, so you enter cd "/Users/Student/Documents/Folder"
