Download Statistics101 Updated 4/27/2008! Version 1.2.6 What's new
Statistics101 is giftware, with no time limit and no price. I hope you find it useful in your statistical teaching, learning, or research. If you have an application that you think others might be interested in, please consider describing it in a post on the User Forum. If you have a question or a problem, you can either post it on the forum or email me directly.
Download and installation instructions:
1. Click here or on the "Download Statistics101" link above to go to the download page.
2. In the form that appears, fill in the information, then click the "Download Statistics101" button.
3. Click "Save" to save the installer file in a convenient location on your hard drive.
4. Go to the folder where you saved the installer. Double-click on the file installStatistics101.jar. NOTE: If double-clicking does not launch the installer, then your machine probably does not have Java installed. Go here or here to download and install the Java Runtime Environment.
5. Follow the installer's prompts. Remember where you install the file so you can make a shortcut to it later (the installer currently creates shortcuts only for Windows systems).
6. To run the Statistics101 program, double-click on the file Statistics101.jar or the shortcut to it that you made in the previous step.
Microsoft Windows Vista users, please read the following:
If you are not logged in with administrator privileges, Vista redirects the default installation directory (C:\Program Files\Statistics101\) to the user's "virtual store". This means that the program is installed only for your user account. Also, if you instructed the installer to make a desktop shortcut and/or a Start menu shortcut, they will be pointing to the "C:\Program Files\Statistics101" directory, which is not where the files are. So, if you double-click on the shortcuts, they will not open the program.
You have two choices. The first choice is to leave the Statistics101 program where it was installed and change the shortcuts to point to it. This leaves the program installed for only your user account. The second choice is to move the Statistics101 folder from the virtual store to the real "C:\Program Files\" directory, where it will be available to all users. In the second choice you don't have to change where the shortcuts point.
Vista Choice one: Leave the installed program where it is but change the shortcuts so that they point to it.
If you ran the installer and let it do the installation in its default location, Vista actually placed the program in:
"C:\Users\YourAccountName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Statistics101\"
where "YourAccountName" is the name of your login account. If you had the installer create a desktop shortcut, you will have to change the shortcut to point to that directory. Do this by:
1. Right-click the shortcut, select Properties, select Shortcut tab.
2. Change "Target" to point to "Statistics101.jar" in the above directory, similar to this: "C:\Users\YourAccountName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Statistics101\Statistics101.jar"
3. Change "Start in" to the above directory.
4. Click the OK button.
If you had the installer create a shortcut in the Start menu, you will have to make the same changes to that shortcut. To do so:
1. Click on the Start menu.
2. Click on All Programs.
3. Find the Statistics101 shortcut and right-click it.
4. Select Properties.
5. Follow the steps described earlier to change the desktop shortcut.
Vista Choice two: Move the program to the "C:\Program Files" folder. This makes the program available to all users and this is where the default shortcuts point. Here's how to do that:
1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the "c:\Users\YourAccountName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\" folder, where YourAccountNameis the name of your login account.
2. Right-click the Statistics101 folder and select "cut".
3. Navigate to the "C:\" folder.
4. Right-click on the "Program Files" folder and select "Paste".
