Stata FAQ
How do I update my copy of Stata?

After you install Stata, you want to update it to get the most recent updates.  Once you are connected to the internet, you can type:

update all

If there is a new executable file, you will also need to type (Stata will prompt you if this is necessary):

update swap

You can follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update process.
Since Stata is frequently updated, by default Stata will check for updates every 7 days, and alter you if there are any updates.
