I'm trying to change my default browser for notebook. I created a .bashrc file in my home directory, and added the line export SAGE_BROWSER="safari" and so far nothing has changed. I rebuilt sage, and when I go to notebook, it still opens firefox. Any ideas?
Try putting your setting in .bash_profile. This is the file I've had to use to change my settings.
I tried .bash and .bash_profile, and nothing is changing. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly though. I have an empty text file in my home directory called .bash_profile, and them I'm adding export SAGE_BROWSER="safari" through vim. I write it, quit it, and restart sage, and nothing has changed. Does this sound like the correct process? Many thanks!
If you are using the GUI Sage.app, then you will have to set the environment variable in a way other than in a shell file. See this stackoverflow question for an overview of the ways to do that.
Also, you probably want to set SAGE_BROWSER to
SAGE_BROWSER='open -a Safari'
since it has to be something that you can run from the command line.
