Installing sage on a macbook

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble installing sage. I've followed the tutorials on the sagemath website, but things just don't add up!

I'm running OS X 10.11.6 and downloaded the .dmg file named "sage-7.4-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64"

After that I mounted this .dmg and copied the folder with the name "SageMath" to my Applications folder

After that I right clicked the folder I moved to applications and clicked the "New Terminal at Folder" option and from the terminal I typed ./sage and pressed enter.

Then I got a couple of errors:

One said: RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded during compilation the other said: ERROR: The Sage installation tree has moved from /Users/buildslave-sage/slave/binary_pkg/build/source/SageMath/(lots of numbers and letters here) to /Applications/SageMath

And that's it, then it shows some text about sage but it doesn't do anything else.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you have Anaconda installed?

Yes, but I tried removing it from my .bash_profile already. Nothing changes.

How about your .bashrc?

I got a rule there to make whatever is writing there to write it to .bash_profile.

Or at least that's what I think its doing:

if [ -f ~/.bash_profile ]; then 
    source ~/.bash_profile
fi
export PATH = "$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" #Add RVM to PATH for scripting

source just means this file uses what's in .bash_profile if it exists. If you have no conflicting PATH additions in .bash_profile, try commenting out the one in .bashrc for Ruby and try Sage again.
