Stata 16 cannot update estout

[Jake Glass]

Hi all. I'm using stata 16, and need a particular functionality out of esttab that seems to require the most recent update of estout (see this post for what I need it for).

When I check to see my version of esttab buy using which esttab, I get version 2.0.8 from 29may2015, whereas (if you follow the above link) you will see that I need version 2.0.9 from 06feb2016. A similar story is true for estadd, which might also be what is causing my problem.

Yet, when I try to update my estout using:

ssc install estout, replace

It says "All files already exist and are up to date". I even tried uninstalling and re-installing estout and it didn't help.

Thank you in advance!

Try deleting and manually installing from here: http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/installation.html

Also check whether there are versions lurking on your machine that you may be unaware of -- use the all option of which:

which estout, all

Just to confirm that the code in #1 worked for me.

Hi all, thank you so much for the help. #3 was the first I tried and it showed me that I was using a version of estout from a different adopath that I had set a long time ago--this, I gather, was preventing the updated version (which I had on my computer) from being the one I used.

Thanks again!
