Starting Sage from precompiled binary

Hello ! My operating system is Xubuntu 16.04.1 x86_64. I've downloaded sage-8.2-Ubuntu_16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2 precompiled binary archive and checked md5 sum. Beforehand I also checked sage prerequisites and installed them all, including openssl. However, after package untar and attempt to launch ./sage, the error message appears: It seems that you are attempting to run Sage from an unpacked source tarball, but you have not compiled it yet (or maybe the build has not finished). You should run make in the Sage root directory first. If you did not intend to build Sage from source, you should download a binary tarball instead. Read README.txt for more information.

Maybe someone have already encountered this problem? There might be some bug in sage installation check?

My intention is to install sagemath kernel to the existing jupyter installation. I tried to install kernelspec for the existing jupyter installation without running ./sage, and installation completes, but kernel can't start.

Well, it appears that I overlooked the message "RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded during compilation". So as it was already pointed (RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded during compilation) the problem was related to the anaconda installation. Excluding conda from $PATH solved the problem.

You ought to be able to add back the conda path after first run of sage without trouble. At least, that's always worked for me on my macOS system.

Works for me. Make sure you are in the correct directory; The archive contains a SageMath directory, which you have to change into (cd SageMath) before you run ./sage

The first time your run the sage script there will be a lot of messages about patching files to make them work in the new directory.

Well, I've run ./sage from the correct directory for sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't see any error messages related to "running Sage from an unpacked source tarball". It seems that Sage can't recognize correctly whether the source was precompiled or not. For some reason, it assumes that it wasn't compiled and asks me to run make and compile, although I did downloaded precompiled binary package.
