I've tried to create a symlink for sage to use in my OS X terminal, using the command

sudo ln -s /Applications/SageMath-7.3.app/sage/sage /usr/local/bin/sage

I got an alias file in my bin-folder, but when I try to open it all I get is this message

"The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “sage” can’t be found."

When I type in just the path /Applications/SageMath-7.3.app/sage/sage in the terminal, sage opens just fine.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm not very accustomed to working in the terminal.

Possibly permissions issue? For myself, I usually put the path for sage in my .profile, e.g. a line like export PATH=$PATH:'/Applications/SageMath-7.3.app/sage/' might work for you.

After completing the ln command, what does command -v sage tell you?

Try this

$ A='/Applications/SageMath-7.3.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage'
$ B='/usr/local/bin/sage'
$ ln -sf $A $B
