I should say that I am not at all convinced that the increase in downloads means that more mathematicians or students are using Sage on their own computers.
You can install Sage on a Github macOS CI runner or an Amazon EC2 macOS instance by running "brew install sage". That makes it practical to use the current version of Sage on one of these hosted virtual machines, and could also lead to repeated downloads of the app. - Marc On Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 10:15:27 AM UTC-6 vdelecroix wrote: > The increase suggests that making sage accessible remains something to > focus on.
