Homebrew

SageMath can now be installed on macOS via Homebrew by running

` brew cask install sage `

This fetches the dmg for the app, and installs the app from that dmg. See this post on sage-devel.

Nix

• Sage package: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/science/math/sage

• Distribution agnostic, functinal, declarative package managing

• Should always have 0 doctest failures. To archive that, some dependency versions are pinned. That is not an issue because nix allows multiple versions of a package to be installed at the same time.

• Should work on most linux distributions. More precisely any Linux distro where the nix package manager is available, e.g. ArchLinux, Debian, others -- definitely works on NixOS

• Is tested on x86 linux. Probably works on ARM but that is as of yet untested.
• Could run on darwin, but currently doesn't since some dependencies don't have darwin-specific patches. If you're a darwin user, help with that would be very much appreaciated.
• Could even work with the linxu subsystem for windows, but probably needs some patches. Absolutely untested.
• Allows user-installs, given that the nix package manager is already installed

• To install: nix-env -iA nixpkgs.sage or on NixOS just add sage to your environment.systemPackages

• Currently (2018-07-26) maintained by timokau. Any help is appreciated. If you are interested (even if you don't know anything about nix yet), open a issue pinging @timokau and I'll help you get started.

Using SageMath through other software

Other software, such as Cantor and TeXmacs, have interfaces to SageMath.

On tablets and mobile phones, Juno provides a good interface to CoCalc.
