What's new in this version: - his is a binary release of SageMath-10.0 for macOS 10.12 and newer. It is packaged as a signed and notarized macOS application. There are two disk images in the assets, one for Intel CPUs and one for Apple's new Arm CPU (i.e. M1, M1X or M2) . Please download the correct one for your system. (If you are not sure, check the "processor" line in the "About This Mac" dialog under the Apple menu.)
- The app behaves similarly to Apple's Launchpad; it launches an instance of Sage and then exits. You can drag the icon to the dock and use it to launch Sage at any time. It includes a working tkinter module, which is used to provide the GUI for launching Sage. The magic command %pip can be used at the sage prompt to install additional packages via pip. These packages will be installed in the user's ~/.sage directory.
- To install, download one of the disk images in the assets below, open it, and drag the SageMath icon to the Applications folder as indicated. Then double-click the recommended pkg file to install some helpful extras. Specifically, the Installer package creates an executable named /usr/local/bin/sage which can be used to run sage from a script or shell and a Jupyter kernel specification in /usr/local/share. It also copies the sagetex.sty file into a subdirectory of /usr/local/texlive where it will be found by the TeX Live latex compiler. The kernel specification should be recognized by other apps that launch Jupyter or JupyterLab.
- The -i option is not supported by the sage executable in this app, but many optional Sage packages are included. Note that GAP packages which are not included in the gap_packages spkg can be installed from within sage by using the PackageManager GAP package. These will be installed in the directory ~/Library/Preferences/GAP. For example, to install the kbmag GAP package run these two commands:
- sage: libgap.LoadPackage("PackageManager")
- sage: libgap.InstallPackage("kbmag")
- The json files in the assets contain the md5 and sha256 hashes of the two disk images.
