 1. Determine your CPU type. (32bit or [[http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/64bit.html|64bit]])  1. 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.
Line 8: Line 9:
 1. Do you want source or binary distribution?
     Usually (even if you want to do development) you will be satisfied with a precompiled version of Sage (binary release).
     The source distribution is only needed if you want to see the sources of the Sage packages, also known as [[spkg|SPKGs]].
 1. 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.)

 1. If available, choose the appropriate binary version from one of the [[http://www.sagemath.org/mirrors.html|download mirrors]].

 1. Follow the [[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/binary.html|Installation Guide]] to actually install Sage.


== Trouble shooting ==

 1. If no binary version is available for you system, download the source version. Note that Sage does not compile on every system.

 1. (((rhx: That should go to the installation guide or (even better) the error message related to sage-flags.txt should change.))) You might run into the [[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/53ae33d0324d44|following issue]] with a binary release due to different features of your system and the system on which Sage was compiled.
 1. The [[https://wiki.sagemath.org/ReleaseTours|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.

Quick Download and Installation Guide

Not sure what to download? See the installation guide.

Troubleshooting

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. 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.

  4. Ask for help on the sage-support mailing list.
