Here are the steps to create the directory for this tutorial:
This following structure is recommended as it will be used throughout the tutorial. If you decide to use a different arrangement of folders, then you will need to change the path to the dataset in the sample programs.
Create the NHANES folder in the C drive. You can get to your C Drive by opening Windows Explorer or the My Computer icon on your desktop. Create the new folder and name it NHANES.
Double-click the NHANES folder and create the TEMP folder inside it. This folder will store your transport files and documentation.
Return to the NHANES folder and create another folder inside it called DATA. This folder will store your extracted SAS datasets or saved Stata datasets and act as your library. If you follow this structure, the path to your library will be C:/NHANES/DATA.
