Use your desktop start menu and look under Science & Math Computation.

Two ways to launch the modified Sagemath: In the modified path, 'math' points to 'math8'. Perl -pi -e 's/^Exec=.*$/Exec=sagewithmathematica -notebook/' sktopįor the curious: the commands create a script (and a corresponding GUI Desktop Start Menu entry) that on-the-fly modifies PATH for the duration of a single Sagemath session. Perl -pi -e 's/^Name=.*$/Name=Sagemath 6 with Mathematica 8/' sktop Ln -s /opt/bin/math8 sagewithmathematica8/mathĮxport PATH=$HOME/sagewithmathematica8:$PATHĬp /usr/share/applications/sktop sktop Here is how you can trick Sagemath into invoking the older version. Although our systems still have Mathematica 8 available, the default behavior is to invoke a newer version of Mathematica, and Sagemath itself does not let you specify which Mathematica to invoke.

However, those examples seem to work only when Sagemath talks to Mathematica 8. This webpage will be removed once we no longer have systems to which it applies.Įxamples of calling Mathematica from within Sagemath are provided at.

Note: The information and work-around below relate to our older Kubuntu TDE 12.04 desktop installation, which had Sagemath 6 and Mathematica, do not exhibit the problem for which the work-around below was necessary.
