Hi Matthias, I have one correction to the 9.6 installation manual. There are no longer two choices for the macOS binary installation. There is exactly one choice: a 1GB download which includes every optional package that we were able to build, except for those which can be installed with the %pip magic command. Packages installed by pip go into the user's .sage directory. No changes are ever made to the application in /Applications and that application is completely self-contained - it does not use any external libraries except the C runtime on the host system which is guaranteed to always exist. (Unfortunately, code compiled against a current C runtime is not guaranteed to be completely backwards compatible, and that is why we must require macOS 10.12 or newer.)
Well, OK, there is a choice between Intel and M1, but that is a different story. - Marc On Monday, April 25, 2022 at 1:13:44 PM UTC-5 Matthias Koeppe wrote: > On Monday, April 25, 2022 at 12:39:42 AM UTC-7 seb....@gmail.com wrote: > >> Actually we no longer advertise the binary distribution. >> >> So, what do we advertise to potential newcomers to Sage?
