| == Installation instructions == === Short instructions === '''Step 1.''' To install the experimental patches provided by Sage-combinat, you first need to install Sage. You have two options. 1. Binary installation (takes less time; only option on Windows; only works if a binary exists for your system): * Download a binary distribution ''for your system'' from [[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/binaries/4.1.combinat/]] and follow the [[http://wiki.sagemath.org/DownloadAndInstallationGuide|installation instructions]] 2. Source installation (recommended, but time-consuming; works for Linux and OSX as long as you have a compilier): * Download the source code from [[http://sagemath.org/download-source.html]] and follow the installation instructions on that page. '''Step 2.''' If you really need the latest features: install the Sage-Combinat patches by running the following command ''inside the sage directory'': {{{ ./sage -combinat install }}} This works best with the latest version of Sage (4.1 as of 06/10/2009). If this step fails, please send an email to the [[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-combinat-devel|sage-combinat-devel]] mailing list with the error message. === Long instructions === * See the [[http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/MercurialStepByStep|Patch server Step by step tutorial]] (in particular, how to '''download Sage-Combinat''') |

Sage-Combinat
Sage-Combinat is a software project whose mission statement is: to improve the open source mathematical system Sage as an extensible toolbox for computer exploration in algebraic combinatorics, and foster code sharing between researchers in this area.
In practice, Sage-combinat is a collection of experimental patches (i.e. extensions) on top of Sage, developed by a community of researchers. The intent is that most of those patches get eventually integrated into Sage as soon as they are mature enough, with a typical short life-cycle of a few weeks. In other words: just install Sage, and you will benefit from all the Sage-combinat development, except for the latest bleeding edge features.

- 2008-06-19: MuPAD-Combinat join forces with Sage
Sage-combinat was born as a partial port of MuPAD-Combinat. After months of discussions and experiments, an enthusiastic consensus emerged in the MuPAD-Combinat community to join Sage. Sage-combinat henceforth became the natural successor of MuPAD-Combinat.
- The transition was a massive investment (and is not yet completely over): seven years of hard work to port over! However a lot of experience was gained since 2000, and most of the design was pretty clear, and we could *share* the work.
