== BitTorrent == ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(software)|BitTorrent]]'' (or just "Torrent") is a peer-to-peer communication protocol for transferring huge amounts of data securely and efficiently over the internet. This is probably the best option for downloading Sage, make sure that your [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients#Features_II|BitTorrent-Client supports "web-seeds"]]. Recommended clients are: * [[http://deluge-torrent.org/|Deluge]] * [[http://aria2.sourceforge.net/|Aria2]] for the Linux command-line (`sudo apt-get install aria2` and then `$ aria2c http://...*.torrent`) * [[http://www.vuze.com/|Vuze]] * [[http://www.transmissionbt.com/|Transmission]] (default in various Linux distributions) === Metalink === The provided torrent files contain web-seeds which are technologically equivalent to Metalink files. Make sure your torrent client understands web-seeds (e.g. all based on libtorrent do so). |
Quick Download and Installation Guide
Not sure what to download? See the installation guide.
Troubleshooting
If no binary version is available for your system, download the source version. Note that Sage compiles on a wide variety of systems, but does not compile on every system.
- If you are not sure how to unpack the compressed file or its ending looks different:
*.tar.gz or *.tgz: Use tar xzf *.tar.gz
*.tar.bzip2 or *.tar.bz2: Use tar xjf *.tar.bzip2
*.app.dmg or *.dmg: This is a Mac disk image, and you can just double-click it.
*.tar.lzma: Use tar --lzma -xf *.tar.lzma
No lzma? Perhaps you have xz, that is compatible with lzma. There might also be -J in tar -xJf *.tar.lzma or you need to install an lzma or xz-utils package.
If the file ending is different, the Linux command file gives you information about the archive type. (Type file filename.ext at the command prompt.)
The Release tour corresponding to the Sage version that you wish to install may offer version-specific installation help that has become available after the release was made and is therefore not covered by the installation manual.
