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.


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):
  2. Source installation (recommended, but time-consuming; works for Linux and OSX as long as you have a compilier):

Step 2. Install the Sage-Combinat patches by running the following command inside the sage directory:

(note: this may require Sage 4.1 which will be out shortly). If this step fails, please send an email to the sage-combinat-devel mailing list below with the error message.
