Hi all, Sorry for the late reply. I tried many things and was not able to fix it. However, I was able to install sage using Conda which was a painless process!
In case it is helpful for anyone, below was what worked for me: (1) Install conda in the terminal. I used Charlie Parker's new answer using only the terminal for mac zsh from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49118277/what-is-the-best-way-to-install-conda-on-macos-apple-mac (2) Install sage using Conda https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/conda.html conda config --add channels conda-forge conda config --set channel_priority strict conda create -n sageenv sage python=3.12 (3) activate sageenv environment in conda conda activate /Users/jianping.pan/anaconda3/envs/sageenv (4) Install some optional packages, after activating the above environment conda install pynormaliz sage -pip install multipolynomial_bases sage -pip install jupyterlab (5) run sage from jupyterlab sage -n jupyterlab Best, Jianping On Monday, April 14, 2025 at 12:38:09 PM UTC-7 dim...@gmail.com wrote: > On Mon, Apr 14, 2025 at 12:33 PM John H Palmieri <jhpalm...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> It seems that the most recent version of patch in homebrew no longer >> provides automatic access to a binary "patch" (which I think it used to >> do); instead it says >> >> If you need to use it as "patch", you can add a "gnubin" directory >> to your PATH from your bashrc like: >> >> PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gpatch/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" >> >> If I make that change to PATH, then I see >> >> % patch --version >> GNU patch 2.8 >> Copyright 1989-2025 Free Software Foundation, Inc. >> Copyright 1984-1988 Larry Wall >> >> but Sage doesn't find it and insists on building its own patch.
