Manually import Mata function

[Henry Strawforrd]

I am running user-written command and got the error that some mata function is missing. I downloaded the mata file and put it in the ado folder of the command. However, this does not fix the issue.

So I thought, can I manually import this mata function from the source file at the beginning of my do-file?

Ah no, it was not because of that. Forget about it please

Be more specific, please. Which user-written command are you running? Where is it from? How did you install it? Where is the Mata function from? How is it stored (compiled, in .mo file, in a .mlib file)? How did you install it? What did you type, exactly? What did Stata do in response, exactly?

Sometimes, it is sufficient to code

. mata mata mlib index

once; sometimes it is not. Detailed, specific, and helpful suggestions depend on detailed, specific questions.
