As you have not mentioned you have successfully run sage I am just adding some advice. If you have already done it please ignore. As you have downloaded the binary for Ubuntu it will be a file ending in .lzma or .gz, say, *sage-5.2-linux-32bit-ubuntu_12.04_lts-i686-Linux.tar.lzma*<http://jambu.spms.ntu.edu.sg/sage/linux/32bit/sage-5.2-linux-32bit-ubuntu_12.04_lts-i686-Linux.tar.lzma> After you have extracted the contents of the archive by right clicking the filename and choosing "extract" or on the command-line using: $ sudo mv *sage....tar.lzma*<http://jambu.spms.ntu.edu.sg/sage/linux/32bit/sage-5.2-linux-32bit-ubuntu_12.04_lts-i686-Linux.tar.lzma>/usr/local ........................moving the file to /usr/local $ cd /usr/local .............................................................being in that direcory $sudo tar --lzma -xvf sage...tar.lzma...........................unarchiving the file $cd sage-5.2...............................................................moving to /usr/local/sage-5.2 $./sage........................................................................Running sage $./sage -n....................................................................Run Sage in a browser It is possible that you can skip the 4th cmd and run the 5th/6th without the starting ./ I hope you have started using SAGE Cheers.
