How to use git to add a package

asked 9 years ago

Using Ubuntu, downloaded sage6.7 binary and successfully installed. Use terminal to run sage. To install a package, the recipe used to be sage -optional, then sage -i package. Now all changed. How should I install, say, the package database-gap? I have installed the Ubuntu package git, then get lost. Linux command line solution would be great.

In particular, Sage has its own copy of git so you shouldn't have to install anything for this sort of operation. However, if you downloaded a binary it's possible you will need some developer tools like gcc and make that are not pre-included.
