Sage is a powerful mathematics software I use
to do symbolic computation. Currently, there is no version available for Debian
Testing, meaning you can either install the version available for the stable
release or cherry pick the package available for Sid.
Well I was not able to sudo apt-get the package for Stretch so I decided
to use the same approach as I did for Julia (see this previous note).
Basically, the sources of sage are mirrored on Github
so one can clone the repository:
1
| $ git clone https://github.com/sagemath/sage.git
|
and then use the Makefile

Testing that Sage starts...

This looks like the first time you are running Sage.
Cleaning up, do not interrupt this.
Done cleaning.
Yes, Sage starts.

After 3h24m11s, everything works fine:
I created another alias and 💥 I’m ready to do maths!
