Opening SPSS

Issue/Question

I have installed SPSS. How do I open/use it?

Environment

  • Windows
    • SPSS

Resolution

When installing SPSS, a shortcut should be created for it in the Start Menu. If it cannot be located you can manually create a desktop shortcut:

  1. Open Computer.
  2. Navigate to C:\program files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\22\ or C:\program files (x86)\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\22\.
  3. Right-click stats or stats.exe.
  4. Select Copy.
  5. Right-click on the Desktop.
  6. Select Paste Shortcut.
