using Mac can not locate my plus folder

[Rose Matthews]

Hello there
I nroamlly use a windows laptop - but this time it can't connect to the internet
Now using mac

I know I have a plus folder as my files from install ssc are installed into my ado/plus

When I try to locate the file within the Stata folder I can only locate /base

Is there an option how to locate/view my plus folder?
As I need to try locate a file....which I found using -findfile- it says its in ado/plus in order to copy and send the file to my administrator


But I can't find the plus folder

Thanks, just tried that but it isn't working.... I have my ado file installed as seen.

I also tried locating the <personal folder>

your personal ado-directory is /Documents/Stata/ado/personal/

However when I access STATA/ADO/
I can only see BASE FOLDER ...no personal, it somehow seems hidden?

Try specifying the full path (starting with "/Users") when you look for the directory. The -which- command will tell you where any particular Stata command is located.

Hi nothing unfortunately seems to work
When I type -which- command... it doesn't work. I think more mata works differently to other commands..

Hi just wanted to say:

I found a solution for this:

type

adopath

This gives you the location of your plus or personal folder.

Copy the address, then go:

Finder > Go > Go to folder > paste the address there of the folder

(I tried accessing the folder manually but I still couldn't see it - just saw post1

I also made sure:
Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > on my Mac & rosematthews & rose macboook pro were ticked

Late to this party, but there is no problem here except misunderstanding quite what some commands do. Error messages are sometimes misleading, because Stata is confused, but the error messages in #6 mean exactly what they say.

moremata is a package name. It is a bundle of Mata functions.

findfile moremata failed because that is not a filename.

which moremata failed because that is not a command name,

Oddly, the name moremata was my original suggestion, although Ben Jann naturally enough deserves all the credit for the contents.
