Even if you want to do development, a precompiled version of Sage (binary release) can be used for that purpose. The source distribution is mostly needed if you want to see the sources of the Sage packages, also known as [[spkg|SPKGs]]. 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|binary installation guide]] to actually install a pre-compiled version of Sage. The [[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html|source installation guide]] contains more detailed information on compiling Sage from source. == Metalink == [[http://www.metalinker.org/|[Metalinks]] ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink|Wikipedia]]) are XML files that contain multiple download sources and various checksums.

[[http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html|and many more]] == 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. (((rhx: That should go to the troubleshooting section of the [[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/|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. |
