FWIW, I made an Ubuntu 18.04 container just to see what's going on with the sagemath 8.1-7 package on there. I can't install Texmacs since I don't have an X server. But it occurs to me from your original message that you were getting some error from some /usr/local/bin/sage, and I think that's your problem in the first place. The directory /usr/local/ is reserved for software that has been manually installed system-wide, without management from your system's package manager. The Ubuntu package for sagemath 8.1 doesn't put anything there (nor should it). The only way you would have some /usr/local/bin/sage is if you or someone else put it there yourself at some point. And it's broken because it's looking for a /usr/local/bin/sage-env (the sage launcher script typically looks for this file relative to its own location) which doesn't exist. So the problem here--however it occurred--is that you should not have had some /usr/local/bin/sage in the first place. Rather than copying random files into /usr/local/ to try to force it to work, you should just delete that /usr/local/bin/sage if you're not sure why it was there in the first place, along with anything else you manually copied to /usr/local. Then follow the directions as normal (from https://github.com/texmacs/SageMath.tm) to install the plugin for Texmacs. You also mentioned something about "I did this because git would give me errors...". What errors were you getting from git?
