Another alternative would be to import the docker image as a WSL distribution. From a user perspective, this would be simply setting up WSL, downloading the docker image as a tar file and then run wsl --import SageMath <path to the tar file>. The tar file could be automatically generated from the docker image upon releasing a new version of sage (in github ci). See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/use-custom-distro. But I don't have experience with this mode of installation, so I don't know if there are hidden shortcomings.
I am experimenting this mode of installation. Yes, this may be the easiest way for a windows user to get a working sage install. I auto-created a powershell script to make this even easier: https://github.com/sagemath/sage-binder-env/blob/master/download_and_import_sagemath_to_wsl.ps1 Needs test. The tar file is currently a github artifact, and is not freely downloadable. It seems that sagemath organization membership is necessary to access it. The wsl image tar file is of size about 6GB. It would be nice if we have a public file server to accommodate the tar file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
