I am following this (dated) video on using Latex with SageMath.

https://youtu.be/Cjcn44CGfQI

This video makes it all so simple but my output is anything but expected with lots of warning and errors.

I am on Windows 10 Pro, using SageMath 8.2 and I installed the latest MikTex 2.9.

The Sage notebook is set to Latex in the drop-down. The input box has:

Hello World!

What I get as output is the following. So why am I not getting Hello World! displaying in notebook?

An error occurred.

Your log doesn't seem to report an error. Furthermore, it has :

Output written on sage80.pdf (1 page, 3968 bytes)

Do you indee have this file ? What does it contains ?

Yes I have it and it contains Hello World. Why doesn’t that output appear in the notebook? Just like in this tutorial:

That is strange, though to my knowledge this has never been tested on Windows before so it might have a problem similar to https://ask.sagemath.org/question/430... That was with the Jupyter notebook but it might be something similar here (at least here it was able to output the PDF, just not display its contents in the notebook).

If error comes in generating pdf, download aconda3 (it may be 32 bit or 64 bit, as per your's system requirement), then install and run it, then come to the SageMath, if you want to generate pdf via LaTeX platform, go to file - Download as - pdf(via LaTeX), then open aconda3 jupiter notebook (from start menu), a new tab will be opened in your browser, then again go to - file - Download as - pdf (via LaTeX), it will be automatically generated, in the mean time, you will be asked to install Miktex

I was able to reproduce the problem, and I realized after some debugging that the unhelpful "An error occurred." is coming from trying to run ImageMagick's convert, which needs to be installed for converting the PDFs to PNGs for display in the browser.

If you install the Windows version of ImageMagick and ensure that it's on your PATH environment variable it should work. In the meantime I've opened an issue for this, since convertshould really be included in the distribution: https://github.com/sagemath/sage-wind...

Thank you. Sorry for sounding so naive but how do I go about ensuring that ImageMagick is on my PATH environment variable. That is something I have never done before.

Mark Szlazak gravatar imageMark Szlazak ( 2018-08-01 14:27:40 +0100 )edit

I just realized there is an additional issue, which is that normally Sage would tell you if you don't have convert (and it should be able to use dvi2png too), but Windows has a built in command also called convert which is completely unrelated, so Sage mistakenly thinks you have ImageMagick convert even if it's the Windows built-in. That's something that should be fixed in Sage.

Iguananaut gravatar imageIguananaut ( 2018-08-01 14:51:17 +0100 )edit

I'm not 100% sure if installing ImageMagick alone will fix it, because I just built a new Sage for Windows with ImageMagick included, but it's still broken, so maybe there's still something else going on...

Iguananaut gravatar imageIguananaut ( 2018-08-01 14:52:06 +0100 )edit

Ah, I see, the ghostscript package needs to be installed too for conversion from PDF to PNG to work (this is a bit of a bug in the cygwin packaging IMO).

Iguananaut gravatar imageIguananaut ( 2018-08-01 15:01:07 +0100 )edit

If you're not sure how to set environment variables in Windows, I would suggest just waiting for the next installer version which will have this fixed. It should be out soon. That said, I believe the Windows installer for ImageMagick gives you the option to add a PATH entry automatically at the end of the installation: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/do...
