Unable to locate package Sagemath

Your formatting problem is due to you $ prompt, which directs Markdown to interpret the text between $ as LaTeX code. You can include a literal block (i. e. a "raw" block of text where Markdown formating isn't needed) by indenting it by four spaces (or using the "101010" button) (or selecting your block and typing Ctrl-K) ; you can insert literals inline by bracketing them in backquotes (`).

Your block should read :

$ curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
$ bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

See the source of this comment for examples.

Can you tell us what is uname in the above ? And what is the answer of the system ? Look up in your logs (possibly install.log), if any.

Thank you Emmanuel Charpentier for your advise. The mistake I was making was to have an extra $ in front of the prompts, as you have noted. Removing $ worked.

The next command also works: "$bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh" Its output is: "Welcome to Miniforge3 24.9.0-0"

There are 2 or 3 more commands left and here the problem is that the system cannot find either "conda" or "mamba" commands: "$conda create -n sage sage python=3.11" results in "Conda : command not found. $mamba results in : "command "mamba" not found. uname is "Linux"

This is the tail-end of the installation process. Please advise how to find (in Ubuntu) if a given command is installed on the system. After that I need to run: "conda activate sage"

Many thanks in advance, Shahid
