\beta is part of the core latex distribution.
if you had bothered to report what the error was, i could be more
helpful than merely using my crystal ball:
"missing $ inserted" is corrected by putting the \beta in maths, so
you can change:
... this is a \beta-version ...
into either
... this is a \ensuremath{\beta}-version ...
or
... this is a $\beta$-version ...
the first form is preferred, since it's more robust, but the latter
is less typing.
