Check Environment

Verify that all required tools and dependencies are installed and correctly configured.

Steps

1. Check each required tool and report its version (or "not found"):

| Tool | Command | Minimum | | ---- | ------- | ------- | | Quarto | quarto --version | >= 1.4 | | uv | uv --version | any | | Python | python3 --version | >= 3.12 | | R | R --version | optional | | Stata | which stata | optional | | TeX Live | pdflatex --version | optional (for PDF) | | GitHub CLI | gh --version | optional |

1. Check Jupyter kernels by running uv run jupyter kernelspec list and verify:

• python3 — required
• ir — optional (needed for R notebooks)
• nbstata — optional (needed for Stata notebooks)

1. Check the Python virtual environment:

• Verify .venv/ exists
• Run uv run python -c "import numpy; import pandas; import matplotlib; import jupytext; print('Core packages OK')" to confirm importability

1. Check nbstata configuration (if nbstata kernel is present):

• Verify ~/.config/nbstata/nbstata.conf exists
• Read it and check that stata_dir points to an existing directory

1. Report a structured results table:

Tool/Check Status Version/Details ───────────────────────────────────────────────── Quarto PASS 1.6.x uv PASS 0.x.x Python PASS 3.12.x R PASS 4.x.x Stata SKIP not found (optional) TeX Live PASS 2024 GitHub CLI PASS 2.x.x Kernel: python3 PASS installed Kernel: ir PASS installed Kernel: nbstata SKIP not installed .venv/ PASS exists Core Python packages PASS importable nbstata.conf SKIP kernel not installed

Use PASS / FAIL / SKIP (SKIP for optional tools that are absent).

1. If any required check fails, provide the installation command or link to fix it.
