How to install SageMaths on ubuntu

how i got to install sage on ubuntu..
Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the
power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface.
you can read more about sage here http://www.sagemath.org/tour.html
unfortunately sage is not available in the Ubuntu repositories and in-fact any repositories as a .deb
package. ( at the time of writing this). did you say compiling? dont even go there i tried building it. and
failed woefully. fortunately i found a nice and easy to install it on Ubuntu. there is a binary package
already compiled for Ubuntu. which makes installation on Ubuntu quite easy and straight forward.
rst we download the ubuntu binary here http://www.sagemath.org/bin/linux/32bit/. the guide is
based on version 3.1.4 so i just did
Code:

wget http://www.sagemath.org/bin/linux/32bit/sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux.tar.gz

once downloaded . i untar it (extracted the archive)

in my case
Code:

tar xzvf sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux.tar.gz

then i moved it to /usr/local/src/

Code:

sudo mv sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux /usr/local/src

then i copied the sage script in to /usr/local/bin

Code:

sudo cp /usr/local/src/sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux/sage /usr/local/bin

then i edited SAGE_ROOT in /usr/local/bin/sage to point to /usr/local/src/sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux

Code:

gksu gedit /usr/local/bin/sage

modied it to look like this

Code:

# Set SAGE_ROOT to the location of the sage install.

SAGE_ROOT="/usr/local/src/sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux/"

i modied the sage root directory permission settings

Code:

sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/src/sage-3.1.4-ubuntu32-intel-XEON-x86-i686-Linux

now run you can run it

Code:

sage

to get a webbased ui
Code:

run notebook()

Re: How to install SageMaths on ubuntu

Thank you for the the HowTo!
I just wanted to add something about a problem I had with jsMath in the sage-notebook:
Allthoug I installed jsMath correctly and it was working on other sites it did not in the notebooks
running my local sage server.
After a while I found the following solution:
I downloaded the Image-Font-Package from the jsMath-site : http://sourceforge.net/project
/showf...roup_id=172663
Then I unzipped it (for example to /tmp) and copied the contained directory named "fonts"
to the destination sageDir/data/extcode/notebook/javascript/jsmath/
After that the pretty_print-command in the sage notebook worked!
(Before I just could see the LaTeX-like "source code" of jsMath)

Maybe this explanations helps saving some time to someone with the same problem.
Maybe I should mention, that I did not installed sage system wide. I just downloaded, unpacked and
started it.

What could be the possible reason for this error and how should I remove it and run sage??
