freduse error

[Margadbileg Bold]

When I use the freduse command I get the following error:

. freduse gdp
Java installation not found
cannot copy gdp from https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred...addata/gdp.txt

file __000000.txt not found {p_end} r(601);

I have the Q3/15 update for freduse installed.
I'd be really grateful for any help!

freduse is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). The command link is broken, so just download the series directly from the FRED website.

Or just import directly
