== 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). == 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. 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.
