I was attempting to replicate the examples seen here (http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference...), but I keep getting errors.

Given ︠482004e5-daf3-4312-b5d7-a61b41d210a4s︠ var('a,b,c,d,x,y,z') qf = qepcad_formula;

ellipse = 3x^2 + 2x*y + y^2 - x + y - 7 F = qf.exists(y, ellipse == 0); F qepcad(F)

Seems cut-and paste went slightly wrong. To display lines of code, select them and click the 'code' button (the one with '010 101'). Try editing your question and doing that.

Can we mark this question as outdated? qepcad installs just fine, and I can think of no reason why anyone would want to read it now.

This is because QEPCAD is an experimental package, see this page. So you will have to install it first. The way to install it is to type, from a terminal:

sage -i qepcad

Note that since qemcad is an experimental, and looking at trac tickets 16642 and 10224, it is very unlikely that you will succeed to install it (i did not succeed myself).

EDIT I am happy to say that qepcad has been repackaged so that 10224 is fixed and you should be able to install it now.

qepcad did install here on 6.10.p1 after I set my MAKE to make -j1.
