Each +of thes components will be compiled during the build process and +installed to a local tree (/opt/sage). The sage directory will be +placed in /opt, however it should be portable enough to be moved to any +location. + +SlackBuild Options: + +SAGEROOT=/install/path [Default:/opt/sage] +By default, sage will be installed to /opt/sage. However, the sage +folder is portable and can be installed to any location of your +choosing. The final destination for SAGE_ROOT can be specified +by passing a value for SAGEROOT to the slackbuild. The final install +will be >2GB, so you may need to point SAGEROOT to a different +partition if your /opt partition is not large enough. The sage tree +can also be moved after installation, however you will need to update +the sage.* scripts in /etc/profile.d to point to the new SAGE_ROOT. +Example: to install sage to your home directory do the following +SAGEROOT=/home/user/opt/sage ./sage.SlackBuild + +TEST={yes|no} [Default:no] +All examples in the documentation (over 93,000 lines of input) can be +tested after Sage has been built with the following (Note: it is not +uncommon for this to produce 2 or 3 errors) +TEST=yes ./sage.SlackBuild + +INSTALLSCRIPTS={yes|no} [Default:no] +Sage's local versions of R, gap, gp, ipython, maxima, mwrank, hg, and +singular can be used independently of Sage by placing scripts for each +in the PATH. This can be enabled with the following (Note: the scripts +will be installed to the location SAGEROOT/bin) +INSTALLSCRIPTS=yes ./sage.SlackBuild + +PDFDOC={yes|no} [Default:no] +By default, only the html version of the documentation will be built. +The pdf version can be built with the following (Note: this requires +LaTeX to be installed): +PDFDOC=yes ./sage.Slackbuild + +OPTIONALSPKG={package1|"package1 package2 ..."|no} [Default:no] +There are a number of optional .spkg files (packages) that can be +be installed after sage has been built. These packages are downloaded +from a sage server before they are installed, therefore you will need a +network connection for this to work. A list of the available optional +packages and a description of each can be found at +http://www.sagemath.org/packages/optional +These packages can be installed with the following (Note: it is not +necessary to give the full version number of the package you are +installing, simply giving the base name is sufficient): +OPTIONALSPKG="package1 package2 package3 ..." ./sage.SlackBuild + +The upstream developers "highly recommend" the database_gap package, +which would be installed with +OPTIONALSPKG="database_gap" ./sage.SlackBuild + +To install multiple packages, i.e. the database_gap package and the +sage-mod package do the following: +OPTIONALSPKG="database_gap sage-mod" ./sage.SlackBuild + |
