From user: I love the idea of the tool, but having some difficulty getting it to work (see error output below). I’m working on Stata 14MP on a Mac Pro - I’m mainly relaying for your information, but if you have suggestions for me to try I’d be grateful.

Thanks Matt. I'll look into this shortly. This typically happens when the package installs libjson on it's first round, and the typical solution is the uninstall and reinstall. I think in future versions we may throw an error to force the user to install libjson manually, or find a way to better integrate the libjson install without these errors.

Current version and instructions now direct people to install libjson before installing the package, so I'm considering this closed.
