Hi,

I would like to install the grdb_polytopes-0.1 spkg which is from

Trac #13282

(sorry I'm new to ask sage and does not have enough karma to publish links).

However, I tried different ways including:

sage -i /grdb_polytopes-0.1.spkg

and

sage -i [the link on that webpage (the "coates" one)]

(again, my apology but I cannot publish a link)

But the first one says:

name 'grdb_polytopes' is not defined

and the second one says:

invalid syntax

How should I install the spkg? Many thanks!

This is an "old-style" Sage SPKG, and those are no longer supported.

The way to try to install, which would be unsuccessful, is to download the file from http://coates.ma.ic.ac.uk/grdb_polyto..., then run sage -i /path/to/grdb_polytopes-0.1.spkg. This will fail with the message

Error: package '/Users/palmieri/Downloads/grdb_polytopes-0.1.spkg' not found
Note: if it is an old-style package, installing these is no longer supported

I don't see any easy way to work around this. You can still look at the data: this spkg file is just a compressed tarball, so you can download it and then run tar xf grdb_polytopes-0.1.spkg and then look at the data files in grdb_polytopes-0.1.spkg/src.
