Installing python-based tools (httpie)

On a fresh ubuntu, I wanted to install httpie, so I tried:



sudo apt-get install httpie



So that seems to have "worked" but I can't run httpie, it says command not found. When I look for it, it looks like all I have is the code for httpie here:



/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httpie

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/httpie


If I then CD to either of those folders, it's just the code for httpie.. Am I missing something obvious here? I've tried to close and restart the session.



BTW I'm using python 2.7, and the latest Ubuntu (16.04.1)



Thanks

You can list the files installed by a package with dpkg command, like:



dpkg -L httpie


One can see that /usr/bin/http is the only binary installed by the package and hence, http might be the command you are loooking for



One can use apt-file if the package is not installed:



apt-file list httpie

  • Awesome stuff, I had no idea about the dpkg command :-) Thanks!

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
