There is the program pi available on Linux systems which calculates π to a specified number of decimal digits.

On a Linux machine connected to the Internet, at a terminal command line enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get install pi

The man page for pi gives the usage details.

Example:

Code:

$ pi 64

Before installing the program, you might want to update your system.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The above could take a while.
