Recognizing installed command packages on a Mac

[Chase Johnson]

I'm working on a Mac. When I search for and install a command package, it works but when I start a new project, I must search and re-install. My colleagues who use PCs tell me that when they do the same, the installed package is continually recognized. I can see that installed packages are saved to an Applications Library file. but for some reason, I don't think Stata grabs it/recognizes it. Any help?

I am not sure if this is the reason, but it is possible that you have installed .ado files in temporary folders.
can you install a new package, and type:

which [package name]

and then

 which ado

For example:

ssc install bimap, replace
which bimap
which ado
