There are two components to Stata:

• the Stata executable
• the Stata ado-files

The Stata executable is updated only rarely. More frequently the ado-files are updated. The easiest way to update is to type update query in Stata to see if updates are available and to follow the instructions it gives you to automatically download and install updates. If you prefer to update by hand, you should click on the links above both for the Stata ado-files and for the executable for your operating system.

Unofficial additions to Stata are also available:

• Features published in the Stata Journal are available via the Internet.
• Features published in the Stata Technical Bulletin are available via the Internet.
• The Statalist group actively exchanges ado-files.
