+This is the release page for probcomp-stack-0.2 from the +MIT Probabilistic Computing Project. + +The release is a stand-alone +docker image that includes a +running +jupyter notebook server through which the +probcomp software and documentation can be accessed. +
+ ++The probcomp stack contains three probabilistic programming platforms: +
+ ++Key capabilities of these platforms can be accessed via the notebooks included with this release. +
+ ++Version 0.2 of the probcomp stack was created on 18 July 2017. +
+ ++This is research software. It is certain to contain flaws. No warranty of any kind +is implied by this release. Use it at your own risk. +
+ ++The installation requires some level of technical ability, +specifically the ability to use the command line, and to install +prerequisite software if required. +
+ ++The notebooks in this release have successfully executed with the +following hardware configuration, with acceptable performance: +
+ ++Running with much less than this may lead to heavy load, long +delays, and/or crashes. Actual application demands vary depending on the +particulars of the data set, both on its size and on the data itself. +
+ ++We assume that you are using a workstation possessing the recommended +resources via the workstation's monitor and keyboard. Client/server +configurations are possible for this software with additional +setup, but methods vary by operating system. We have not prepared +documentation for client/server configurations. +
+ + + + ++probcomp-stack-0.2 has been tested on ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, but we +anticipate that it will run on any operating system that supports +Docker, such as most GNU/Linux +variants, Mac OS X, and +64-bit Windows 10. +
+ ++probcomp-stack-0.2 requires Docker version 1.6 or later. +
+ +Download and save the probcomp-stack-0.2 distribution (370 MB).
+ +Optional: To check the integrity of the download, verify that the SHA256 +checksum is 145afeb0ee0cfadbe874e301c4117294ab7055c737eeab0f18135f35aedf2f98.

+ At the command line, navigate to the directory containing
+ probcomp-stack-full-0.2.tar.gz.
+
+ Tell docker about the probcomp-stack container as follows:
+ + $ docker load --input probcomp-stack-full-0.2.tar.gz
+ probcomp-stack-full-0.2.tar.
+ + Start the Docker container as follows:
+ + $ docker run --rm --publish 127.0.0.1:8080:8080/tcp \
