Now the work is done and WordStat for Stata can be installed on a Mac and be executed from Stata for Mac. We had to make some changes to WordStat and to the installation process. WordStat had to run on the Mac side under Wine and be able to exchange information with Stata for Mac.


The major challenge was to have a Mac application communicating with a Windows application which is simply not possible with typical solutions like Parallels, VMWare Fusion, or Bootcamp. One of the requests we received when we released WordStat for Stata in 2015 was to develop the ability for people to be able to use WordStat for Stata on the Mac computer platform. WordStat for Stata content analysis and text mining software now supports two solutions for use on Mac computers.
