In trying to setup development for the Sage Notebook, by following the guide at: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/sagenb/index.html , you first need to locate the root directory of the Sage installation, SAGE_ROOT . Thats the part where im stuck as i dont know where SAGE_ROOT is... Many other places make reference to this place, not just the notebook. So kind of a general dev issue. Im on ubuntu and have a development directory, just containing the sage repository at : ~/sage , and have what is supposed to be a non-development working stable installation of sage that was installed using the "UBUNTU PPA" instructions at http://www.sagemath.org/download-linux.html, just:
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary Im not sure where this installs to, what the default installation directory is on ubuntu, or if sage installs somewhere different? If i do: user1@computer0:~$ ./sage bash: ./sage: Is a directory but but if i do: user1@computer0:~$ sage ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Sage Version 6.3, Release Date: 2014-08-10 │ │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │ │ Type "help()" for help. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ /usr/lib/sagemath/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/utils/path.py: 310: UserWarning: IPython dir '/home/user1/.sage/ipython-2.1.0' is not a writable location, using a temp directory.
