Math but no Sage

[dbrant]

Much to my suprise I cannot find SageMath listed in Synaptic. Am i missing something or what?

Scilab, Maxima, gretl, Octave and gnuplot are all there. Some mention of Cantor backport(!?) but no Sage

Could anybody please enlighten if there is an easy way to install it?
I am running 64-bit maya with cinammon

There is a ppa for it here:
https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath

Install this package with

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

Many thanks dagon

I took your sound advice with the ppa and it worked perfectly. Sage is now up and running flawlessly.

I forgot how diverse it is and consequently didn't appreciate the number of additional applications it's integrated with. A big installation, but well worth it.

Much appreciated
All the best
