'''Editing the wiki.''' Page editing uses the MoinMoin syntax. To edit the wiki, you will need a log in using your [[https://trac.sagemath.org/#legacy-account-request|legacy sage-trac account]] account; a !GitHub account cannot be used for this. If you edit an existing page with a long history, a key question is: "If someone opens this page tomorrow, will they be able to tell which information is current and which is outdated?" Edit accordingly.

SageMath Wiki

This is the wiki for the Sage - Mathematics Software System project. There are other ThingsCalledSage.

This wiki is mainly used by developers for organization of e.g. SageDays and discussion of long-term projects. Since it is a wiki, pages should be made to last over many, and frequent, changes. If an external link is made, please attach relevant files/content to avoid broken links.

Packages

New-style SPKGs

There is a single authoritative place to learn about the specific set of packages (new-style SPKGs) that Sage uses: The SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/ directory in the Sage distribution. Each SPKG is represented by a subdirectory. The structure of these subdirectories is explained in the Developer's Guide.

Since Sage 9.2, the spkg section of the Sage reference manual is automatically generated from the information in SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/. (Trac #29655 improves the formatting of this information.)

Use the following shell commands below to access the information from the SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs directory of your copy of Sage:

  • Standard packages: ./sage -standard

  • Installed packages: ./sage -installed

  • Optional packages available: ./sage -optional

  • Experimental packages available: ./sage -experimental

  • Details about an SPKG: ./sage -info <SPKG>

For some advanced package tools, use ./sage -package
