Sage Math recompiled to run on the Raspberry Pi

if you've tried to contact me about Sage on the Raspberry Pi recently, I've been having some email-related difficulties, so please resend the message!

FYI this repo's for bugs and docs + the wiki, not downloads or source. see below for downloads.

Downloads:

• Sage 6.0 (current): tarball
• Sage 5.8 (older): tarball

I use Goo.Gl to shorten the links so you can type them into the Pi easily

=====================================================================================

This is a recompilation of Sage Mathematics for the Armv6l armhf Raspberry Pi. If, by any chance, you want to compile it yourself, check out the wiki!

More info about Sage is available at www.sagemath.org

On this Github repository, there is a issue tracker. Please do not use it for Sage-related problems, as those should be opened on the Sage trac wiki/tracker. Instead, use it for Sage issues related to the Raspberry Pi.

The downloading and unpacking should occur on the Raspberry Pi itself. To download:

  cd ~
  mkdir sage-math
  cd sage-math
  wget <goo.gl url>

Goo.Gl url is either:

• Sage 6.0 (current): http://goo.gl/dcpBtR
• Sage 5.8 (older): http://goo.gl/gnzoDx

You should check the integrity of the tarballs. You can check the hashes by running

md5sum <filename>

or

md5 <filename>

and seeing if they match these:

• Sage 6.0 (current): a6c931b94488d9e35df148809ceed23f
• Sage 5.8: b09b21311e94a31d487360e12786b953

That lets you know the tarball isn't corrupted. To untar the tarball:

  tar zxvf <tarball name>

If the untarring fails, try prefixing tar with sudo - that sometimes works. If that doesn't work, please post an issue!

Running it is as easy as cding into the unpacked tarball and running

./sage
