Troubleshooting¶

Installation¶

If the pip install step gives you an error like "DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (pexpect) has been deprecated", try
```
pip install stata_kernel --ignore-install pexpect
```
If you have multiple installations of Python on your machine, make sure you run python -m stata_kernel.install during installation with the same Python executable as the one you usually use. This matters especially when using several Python virtual environments. You'll need to install stata_kernel within each environment you use.

If you're using a user-written command to generate your graph, you'll need to add that command to the list of graph keywords.
If you're on Windows and using Edge as your browser, SVG images won't work. This is a known issue.

Easy solutions:
- Don't use Internet Explorer/Edge
- Set the graph format to PNG instead of SVG. Run one of the following to change the graph's storage format:
```
%set graph_format png
%set graph_format png --permanently
```
