Once it's done installing, it should open up the folder (namely $SAGE_ROOT) containing the application (called Sage.app). You should then be able to move it, run it, etc. When you first start it up, it will take a while before the server starts, but eventually it should open a browser window, and away you go. -Ivan -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
