🟦 Easiest way to install SageMath on Windows 11 (WSL + Ubuntu‑24.04)
This workflow installs SageMath 10.9 on Windows 11 using WSL + Ubuntu‑24.04, with full automation and reproducibility.
Only 4 PowerShell scripts are needed, all ASCII‑only and idempotent.
✔ What the scripts do
forceUbuntuVersion.ps1
Ensures WSL installs Ubuntu‑24.04 (not 22.04).install‑sage‑Jupyter.ps1
Installs all dependencies, builds SageMath 10.9 from source, and installs Jupyter Notebook + JupyterLab.createFile‑sage_sh_scripts.ps1
Automatically generates the two WSL launchers:sage_nb.sh(Jupyter Notebook)sage_lab.sh(JupyterLab)
You do not need to edit these.shfiles.
createShortcut.ps1
Creates Windows shortcuts that open Jupyter directly in Microsoft Edge.
✔ Why this method
- Works with Python 3.12 (WSL recently upgraded from 3.11 → 3.12).
- Fully reproducible, no manual steps.
- Clean separation Windows ↔ WSL.
- Safe to re‑run (idempotent).
- No path issues, no BOM/CRLF problems.

Note: After recent WSL/Ubuntu-24.04 updates, Windows-launched WSL sessions start with a minimal PATH. Two fixes are now required for stable SageMath startup scripts:
Use the full path to SageMath in the .sh scripts: (adapt for your Linux user)
/home/ortollj/sage/sage/sage -n jupyter --no-browser
Use the full path to cmd.exe in the PowerShell launcher:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start msedge "$URL"
These two absolute paths make the workflow reliable from both WSL terminal and Windows shortcuts.

edited 2026/07/15 : Important update (July 2026): Since WSL recently switched to Python 3.12.3, SageMath‑10.9 no longer compiles reliably on Ubuntu‑24.04. I had to switch to SageMath‑10.10‑beta (develop branch), which compiles correctly.
