Experimental Conda packages for Linux & OSX are available through conda-forge.

Setting Up

In short: Install sage from conda-forge.

To install sage on your machine (without the need for root permissions):

• Install Miniconda for Python 3 (Python 2 version fails to copy "Hängematte" which comes with rw)

• export your PATH (and hash -r or rehash)

• Make sure your locale is UTF-8.

• Add the conda-forge channel: conda config --add channels conda-forge

• Update all packages: conda update --all (otherwise you get weird errors due to inconsistencies later)

• create an environment for sage: conda create -n sage sage

• enter your environment: source activate sage

• enjoy: sage

Development

The packages necessary to run sage are developed on the github pages of conda-forge. The actual sage package and many of its dependencies are maintained by Isuru Fernando (and a few volunteers).

Open Issues

General

There are still some issues with Conda. Not all tests pass and some things don't work:

• #20382
• …

Windows

There is likely not going to be a working package in the near future, see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-devel/wyaV8x5qolI/jVS4DKBvCAAJ.
