OK, I downloaded sage-vmware to desktop and extracted it there. The following is extracted from the README.txt with my comments: ... Installation ============ Installing Sage should take 15 to 20 minutes, less than 2 GB of hard drive space, and be painless. 1. Download sage-vmware-x.y.zip --> was sage-vmware-4.6.zip 2. Extract it anywhere you want. This will take about 15 minutes despite anything Windows tells you. Do *not* stop the extract halfway through and think Sage will still work.) --> was faster (maybe 5 min) on my laptop 3. Make sure you have installed the free VMware program. See the following URL for more information: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ -->I have VMplayer 3.1.3 installed 4. Double click on sage_vmx in the sage-vmware-x.y directory to run Sage. --> IMPORTANT: Filename is "sage-vmware" (sage-vmware.vmx) not sage_vmx -->The virtual disk file is also in the same folder, its name is sage- vmware.vmdk. Using Sage ========== 1. When Sage starts up, click in the window (and possibly press Control-G on some computers), then type "notebook" at the prompt to start the Sage notebook server. -> This is a change with the new versions. You have 3 Icons to start Notebook, Sage on commandline or a terminal. -> If you start sagenotebook,in the lower right cornerof the vm a window is shown with an IP adress. This is the IP adress to type in the windows-browser (bookmark it?!) 2. Now you can use Sage via your web browser from Windows (it's best to use Firefox). --> Had no problems with seamonkey and opera > > May I also point you to the sage windows installer, which is kind of a > different approach:http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/doc/html/en/ > Any feedback? > kind regards > emil > > On 26 Dez., 06:59, Cyrille Piatecki <cyrille.piate...@univ-orleans.fr> > wrote: > > > > > So I have isntalled vmWare Player and double-clicked on > > sage-vmware.vmx as is said in the tutorial but the answer is > > > File not found: sage-vmware.vmdk Since all necessary files should be present if you downloaded the correct zip file, I just can think of a wrong setting in the VMplayer configuration.
