The Design and Implementation of Probabilistic Programming Languages

A web book, available online at dippl.org

Requirements:

• git
• jekyll

Run a local webserver:

git clone https://github.com/probmods/dippl.git
cd dippl
jekyll serve --watch

All JavaScript and CSS dependencies are vendored in the repo, so no package manager is needed:

• The webppl runtime, editor, and visualization library live in assets/js and assets/css (currently webppl v0.9.9, webppl-editor 1.0.9, webppl-viz 0.7.11). To upgrade, replace those files with new builds and update the references in _layouts/default.html.
• Third-party browser libraries (jQuery, Bootstrap, d3, etc.) live in bower_components. The directory name is historical; bower itself is no longer used.

The site deploys via GitHub Pages from the gh-pages branch.
