I did this process to install UBUNTU and W1O dual boot: dual boot Ubuntu W10 process

ortollj ( 2019-09-12 17:07:43 +0100 )edit

@ortollj I don't think dual booting has anything to do with it. Installing Sage on Ubuntu or Windows is totally different...

Unless, that is, you're trying to share your home directory between Windows and Linux partitions which, if so, would be worth actually specifying. Using an NFTS partition as your home directory may not work for some Linux software, as *nix permissions can't be emulated exactly (or at all) on NTFS partitions.

@Iguananaut:

Yes I know. I just added this information in the case or someone else would like to try the dual boot

how can I see the Linux OS partition mode (NTFS or FAT32) , with fdisk ?

sudo fdisk -l

Here's what I did:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ wget http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/math/sagemath/linux/64bit/sage-8.8-Ubuntu_18.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
$ echo '171b62272a6bf869246fd9fdbc37eff1 *sage-8.8-Ubuntu_18.04-x86_64.tar.bz2' | md5sum -c
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/opt  # This is just where I opted to put it for myself; this is up to you
$ tar xf sage-8.8-Ubuntu_18.04-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C ~/.local/opt/
$ cd ~/.local/opt/SageMath
$ ./sage

Running ./sage for the first time outputs:

I also made a symlink:

$ ln -s ../opt/SageMath/sage ~/.local/bin/

Because I have ~/.local/bin on my $PATH, now I can run that Sage installation by just typing sage at the command prompt.

Also FWIW I have:

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ python --version
Python 2.7.15+
$ dpkg -S `which python`
python-minimal: /usr/bin/python

I also noticed in your original post that you were running as root. That might be part of your problem. If you're taking various arbitrary actions on your system as root then you can break almost anything.

since I've re-installed Ubuntu I did not run anymore as root. I do not understand it is like I did not install Python 2.7 !!

this is what I see:

ortollj@ortollj-SATELLITE-C70-B:~/Downloads/SageMath$ ./sage
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
Error running the script 'relocate-once.py'.

Command 'python' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install python3       
sudo apt install python        
sudo apt install python-minimal
You also have python3 installed, you can run 'python3' instead.

what command I have to run to install python 2.7 ?

Sorry @tmonteil I was certain to have installed 2.7 ! ;-(

ortollj ( 2019-09-13 17:59:39 +0100 )edit

but it seems I did install python 2.7.

it actually looks like the python 2.7 installation I did works . it's a crazy story !!!

ortollj@ortollj-SATELLITE-C70-B:~/Downloads/SageMath$ python2.7 -V
Python 2.7.16
ortollj@ortollj-SATELLITE-C70-B:~/Downloads/SageMath$

ortollj ( 2019-09-13 18:13:30 +0100 )edit

You have to do sudo apt install python

You seem to be doing contractictoty things:

when you write tar -xjf *.tar.bz2, you seem to be willing to install Sage from some binaries downloaded from Sage website.
when you write apt install sagemath-common, you seem to be willing to install Sage from Ubuntu repositories, but then you should install sagemath-jupyter, because sagemath-common only ships some file that are common to all arcitectures (in particular, it does not provide compiled files, which are required).

Which Sage do you want to install ?

If you want to install six, you should do that as a normal user, with the command pip install --user six. In the example you gave, you are running the pip command as root, wich is not advised, and which probably explains the error messages you get.

ok thank you tmonteil

ortollj ( 2019-09-12 05:10:21 +0100 )edit

just one more question can I uncompress the TAR file in the Download folder, or is there a more desirable folder ? do I need to install Latex ? http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/insta...

ortollj ( 2019-09-12 09:21:33 +0100 )edit

Yes you can, it is really up to you as long as you do not do that as root, but I would suggest to unpack the tarball in a dedicated directory, like "~/sage".or whatever Note that once you unpack and run ./sage from that directory, you can not move it anymore since some paths are hardcoded, so if you want to move the Sage directory, you should re-unpack it.

tmonteil ( 2019-09-12 11:15:36 +0100 )edit

after re installing Ubuntu and untar sagemath again, sorry but now I can't even launch sage !
