Hi Tessa, Please answer "yes" to agree to overwrite your existing sagetex.sty file, even though you don't have one. I apologize for that message being imprecise. It means "Is it OK if we replace your sagetex.sty file *If you have one*. But it does not actually check whether you do have one. We wanted to warn people in case they had made changes to their sagetex.sty file which they don't want to lose. Similarly for the script /usr/local/sage.
About the crazy statement from google: please don't trust chatbots. When they don't know the answer they make one up, and the made up one is almost always wrong. But, as you know, this is a much bigger issue than your sagetex.sty issue. :^) - Marc On Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 5:23:41 PM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Hi Dima, > > I installed Sage from https://github.com/3-manifolds/Sage_macOS/releases > > That seemed to work fine, and now I have a SageMath-10-7 icon in my > applications folder. > > However, I cannot locate the "sagetex.sty" file anywhere, even though it > asks to overwrite it upon installation. > When I Google, it says that it can be found here: > Applications/SageMath-<version>.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex.sty > > However, there is no "sage" folder in the "Resources" folder.
