🟦 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

  1. forceUbuntuVersion.ps1
    Ensures WSL installs Ubuntu‑24.04 (not 22.04).

  2. install‑sage‑Jupyter.ps1
    Installs all dependencies, builds SageMath 10.9 from source, and installs Jupyter Notebook + JupyterLab.

  3. 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 .sh files.
  4. 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.
