Installing Sage just installs Sage, it does not automatically make the sage
command point to Sage.
So either change directory to where sage is installed and run ./sage
as @eric_g suggests,
or take one of the following steps.
use an alias by adding this line in your .bashrc
or .bash_profile
settings file:
alias sage='/path/to/sage'
or add a symbolic link in a place that is in your PATH, say /usr/local/bin
, by running the command
$ sudo ln -s /path/to/sage /usr/local/bin
(you would replace /path/to/sage
by the actual path to the sage
executable you have installed).
A related trick: GAP, Singular, etc., are bundled with Sage. There is a command
to create creating symbolic links for all of them in a chosen directory. To create
the symbolic links in /usr/local/bin
, run this command:
$ sudo sage -c "install_scripts('/usr/local/bin')

How did you install Sage ?
Have you tried to type
./sage
(from the sage root directory), instead ofsage
?
