Sage not in repositories on ubuntu 17.10 and on download page I don't see version for Ubuntu newer than 16.04.
So, I should build Sage from source, right?
And if I will do it, could I add my compiled sage to the download page and Ubuntu repositories?

To get SageMath under Ubuntu, you could either

  • install the Debian package by running in a terminal:

    sudo apt install sagemath-jupyter

    (this should work under: Debian >= 9; Ubuntu 17.04; Ubuntu >= 18.04; unfortunately not in Ubuntu 17.10),

  • install SageMath binary for your Ubuntu system from the SageMath download page.

  • build from source,
  • install using Conda,
  • install using Docker.

Note that Ubuntu 18.04 was just released which makes it a good time to upgrade.

Building from source is a good way to get the latest version.

If you build from source, I would suggest building the latest development release, currently SageMath 8.2.rc4.

When SageMath 8.2 is released, it should be nearly identical to SageMath 8.2.rc4.

@Romuald_314 -- checking again, it turns out SageMath is not available through the Ubuntu package manager in Ubuntu 17.10. Edited my answer here, and posted similar answer to your other question.
