There are two components to Stata

• the Stata executable
• the Stata ado-files

These are updated separately.

You update the Stata executable only rarely. Updating your copy of Stata 5 is simply a matter of downloading a file.

More frequently you should update the ado-files.

• The "official" updates are provided here (click All operating systems above).
• Features that were published in the Stata Journal are available via the Internet.
• Features that were published in the Stata Technical Bulletin are available via the Internet.
• The Statalist group actively exchanges ado-files.
