Revision history [back]

The Sage-Windows installer so far only provides SageMath 9.3.

For SageMath on Windows, I would say your choices are currently

1. Use SageMath 9.3 (or 9.2 if your computer has trouble with 9.3) from the Sage-Windows installer.

2. Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (also known as WSL), following

   • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about

   Then you can install a Linux distribution of your choice using WSL, and use any way of installing SageMath that works with that Linux distribution, for example

   • using a package from that Linux distribution
   • using Conda
   • installing from source

   One benefit is you might get a faster Sage that way.

3. Install Cygwin and build Sage from source there.

   See the instructions at

   • SageMath documentation: installing from source

4. Sponsor the work of E. M. Bray who prepares the Sage-Windows installers.

   • https://github.com/sponsors/embray

   That might speed up the next release.
