Download Statistics101 Updated 5/10/2013. Version 2.8 What's new
The Wizards module of the latest version of Statistics101 requires
Java version 6 or later. If your computer has an earlier version of
Java and can't be upgraded to version 6, then the new Wizards module
will be unavailable but the rest of the functionality will still be
available.
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 example
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 (Windows Vista, Win7, and Linux users see additional notes below):
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. Click on the Java button 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 and Windows 7 users, please read the following:
If you get this error message during installation, "This directory cannot be written! Please choose another directory!", please do the following:
1. Create a folder called "Statistics101" on your desktop.
2. If you saved the Statistics101
installer on your computer, start the installer by double-clicking on
the file "installStatistics101.jar" that you downloaded. If you didn't
save it, download it again and in the download dialog choose either
"Open with Java" or "Save File". ("Opening" will download the installer
to a temporary file and automatically run the installer. "Saving" will
download the installer to a location you specify.)
3. Step through the installer until you get to where it asks you "Select the installation path:".
4. Click the "Browse..." button and find the "Statistics101" folder on your desktop.
5. Select that folder and click the "Next" button.
6. Proceed until the installer completes the installation.
7. You can leave the "Statistics101"
folder on your desktop or move it to any place you prefer, as long as
you have full access privileges (read, write, execute) to that new
location.
8. If you want a shortcut to
Statistics101on your desktop, find the "Statistics101.jar" file in the
"Statistics101" folder. Create a shortcut by right-clicking on the file
and selecting "Create shortcut".
9. Move the shortcut to your desktop.
Linux Users, please read the following:
To install Statistics101 under Linux:
Download the installer from the website. It should work with Linux if
you have Java properly installed. Don't let your Archive program try to
extract files from it. Instead, you might have to run the installer in
a terminal like this:
cd <directory containing the installer>
java -jar installStatistics101.jar
Make sure you install the program into a directory in which you have full permissions.
You might need to set the execute permission on the Statistics101.jar file.
Once the program is installed, it must be run such that its working
directory is the directory containing the Statistics101.jar file. So,
probably the easiest thing to do is to create a command file containing
commands similar to the following two, perhaps named
"launchStats101":
cd <directory containing the Statistics101.jar file>
java -jar Statistics101.jar
Then, whenever you want to launch the program, just invoke the command file.
