# Probability-Programs
The scripts for [Introduction to Probability by Charles M. Grinstead and J. Laurie Snell](http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/probability_book/book.html) ported to python
## Setup
Install Python 3.8 and git
Other versions of python 3.X may work
To install using a different version of python, open `Pipfile` in a text editor and edit the version number
[requires]
python_version = "3.8"
### Linux
Make sure pip for python 3 is installed
`pip3 --version` should not print an error
Install pipenv via pip
`pip3 install --user pipenv`
Clone the repo
`git clone [email protected]:FireLemons/Probability-Programs.git`
Install the project dependencies
`cd Probability-Programs`
`pipenv install`
**this may take several minutes**
Install tkinter to be able to display graphs
`sudo apt install python3-tk`
### Windows
Make sure pip for python 3 is installed
Make sure the `"%AppData%\Python\Python3X\Scripts"` directory is added to PATH env variable.
`pip3 --version` should not print an error
Install pipenv via pip
`pip install pipenv`
Clone the repo
`git clone [email protected]:FireLemons/Probability-Programs.git`
Install the project dependencies
`cd Probability-Programs`
`pipenv install`
**this may take several minutes**
Tkinter comes bundled with Windows installer. Use `python -m tkinter` to check if Tkinter is installed properly
### MacOS
Help Wanted
## Running Programs
run `pipenv shell` in the project folder to start a subshell with all the dependencies loaded
In the subshell, run a program by typing `python3 name_of_program.py`.
## Contributing
This repo aims to port the wolfram mathematica programs found [here](http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/probability_book/BookAlgorithms.html) to python.
When I first discovered the book, I went to download the programs and saw that they were all written in proprietary languages so I decided to port the programs to python.
The program files don't have to be 1 to 1 with the mathematica files. If you can find a way to simplify or improve a program, go for it.
When creating a program, first copy contributing/template.py and edit from there.
When editing programs please keep in mind they may need to be modified by someone who may not have a background in programming.
For the near future I only plan to port standalone programs. Eventually I would like help to port the mathematica notebook files to jupyter notebook.
