Sage

Installation

Install instruction for Ubuntu - using binary image sage-3.2.1-ubuntu_32bit-xeon-i686-Linux.tar.gz. Script below will install sage in /usr/local/sage-3.2.1, and create a copy of sage in path /usr/local/bin.

# (as root)

% cd /usr/local
% tar -xvzf .../sage-3.2.1-ubuntu_32bit-xeon-i686-Linux.tar.gz
% mv sage-3.2.1-Ubuntu-x86_64-opteron-x86_64-Linux sage-3.2.1
% chmod a+rX -R sage-3.2.1     
% cp /usr/local/sage-3.2.1/sage /usr/local/bin
% vi /usr/local/bin/sage
#  --> change SAGE_ROOT to /usr/local/sage-3.2.1

After installation, launch sage from root again because Sage needs to update some links, create files, etc...
