@emmanuel-charpentier - I've made some changes to the Documentation, Trac ticket with commit attached is here: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31138

I'm glad it all worked, though I didn't see any of those issues with my installation, I was clearly very lucky.

I confess I was genuinely surprised at how well the WSL installation worked - I was expecting a deal-breaking issue to pop up at some point and it never did :-). I can add an issue, but my motivation for the from-source install was the same as the OP's problem - I wanted to install optional packages, in my case the jupyterlab_widgets package to get interact working in JupyterLab.

The "/root" at the beginning of the path shouldn't be there, so the command would be: cd /mnt/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/user

I fixed this a stupidly complicated way - by installing Sage math from source on WSL.

It works great, and it's not super complicated, but it is a faff. I documented the process on my website . Its basically just the official sage instructions with most of the decision making done for you, and the bits you need to do before and after to make it work with WSL.

Is there any way to get the pretty printer to produce Newton's notation? - ie. a single dot centred over the variable for first derivative with respect to time, 2 dots for second derivative etc.

Example:

t, y = var('t, y')
x = function('x')(t)
pretty_print(y == 2*diff(diff(x,t),t) - 3 * diff(x,t) + 5)

gives:

but I'd like to see:

I also have this problem.
