Is Stata 13 or earlier compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer?

Title Is Stata 13 or earlier compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer?  
Author Chinh Nguyen, StataCorp

Stata 10 and newer are 64-bit applications and are compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer. However, the installers for Stata 13 and earlier are 32-bit applications and are not compatible with Catalina or newer.

When attempting to install Stata 13 or earlier, you must have access to a Mac running an older version of macOS that does support the 32- bit installer and copy the Stata folder to your Mac running a more recent version of macOS. We recommend that you archive your Stata folder so that you can use it to install Stata in the future.
