fw_set

Set the backend and the location of fw

fw_set with no arguments shows the options. Options are stored in stata.conf in the Framework configuration folder and apply to every project.

Backend	Behavior
`auto`	Stata handles folders and Framework Cloud. GitHub and S3 use `fw` when it is installed, then framework-py. The default.
`core`	Stata only. GitHub and S3 publishing stop with an error.
`cli`	Every publish goes through `fw`.
`python`	Every publish goes through framework-py in Stata's Python. Stata 16 or newer.

Usage

fw_set
fw_set backend {auto|core|cli|python}
fw_set fw_path {path|clear}

Name Default Description

backend

auto

Name	Default	Description
backend	auto	`auto`, `core`, `cli`, or `python`. Environment variable: `FW_BACKEND`
fw_path		The full path to `fw`, or `clear` to forget it.

auto, core, cli, or python.

Environment variable: FW_BACKEND

fw_path

The full path to fw, or clear to forget it.

The global FW_BACKEND overrides the stored backend for one session: global FW_BACKEND cli.

fw_set fw_path points to fw when Stata cannot find it. The Stata application on macOS starts with a short PATH, so this is common there.

Not run

fw_set backend cli
fw_set fw_path "/opt/homebrew/bin/fw"
