[sage-devel] Finding SAGE_ROOT?

2014-08-21 Thread Paul Graham
In trying to setup development for the Sage Notebook, by following the 
guide at: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/sagenb/index.html , you 
first need to locate the root directory of the Sage installation, SAGE_ROOT 
. Thats the part where im stuck as i dont know where SAGE_ROOT is... Many 
other places make reference to this place, not just the notebook. So kind 
of a general dev issue. Im on ubuntu and have a development directory, just 
containing the sage repository at : ~/sage , and have what is supposed to 
be a non-development working stable installation of sage  that was 
installed using the UBUNTU PPA instructions at 
http://www.sagemath.org/download-linux.html, just:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary

Im not sure where this installs to, what the default installation directory 
is on ubuntu, or if sage installs somewhere different? If i do:

user1@computer0:~$ ./sage
bash: ./sage: Is a directory

but but if i do:

user1@computer0:~$ sage

I dont know what the difference between sage and ./sage is, but maybe 
above info will help someone pinpoint where my SAGE_ROOT is? I tried alot 
of searching but no luck so far.

Try typing SAGE_ROOT at the sage prompt, e.g.,

sage: SAGE_ROOT
'/usr/local/sage/sage-6.2.rc2'
