Sage Download And Installation Guide
- Determine your operating system. (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.)
Determine your CPU type. (32bit or 64bit)
- 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 SPKGs.
- Usually (even if you want to do development) you will be satisfied with a precompiled version of Sage (binary release).
If available, choose the appropriate binary version from one of the download mirrors.
Follow the Installation Guide to actually install Sage.
Trouble shooting
- If no binary version is available for you system, download the source version. Note that Sage does not compile on every system.
(((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 following issue with a binary release due to different features of your system and the system on which Sage was compiled.
