Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the Computer Algebra System in LyX 2.1.2.2 on a Mac.

I have downloaded Maxima - version 5.30 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-MacOS/ 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-MacOS/>). Its installed in 
the Applications folder.

To configure with LyX I have used the "Preference->Paths->PATH prefix" field. I 
have set many values, using a colon ":" to separate: 
/usr/texbin:...:/Applications/Maxima.app

When I create a simple equation $1+1$, right click and select Maxima, an equals 
sign appears but not an answer.

I assume the path value is incorrect.

If Maxima is installed at "/Applications/Maxima.app", what should be placed in 
the "PATH prefix" field?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Richard
