The command -findit- is your friend! (Think of it as a Stataish
'Google'):

What you need is -gllamm-, and the very latest version is the one
available from the SSC-IDEAS archive. In an up-to-date Stata, you can
then read more about it with
-ssc describe gllamm-
and install it directly with
-ssc install gllamm-
