I remember a discussion here about this, but couldn't find it again. I think it's useful to have a couple different ways to do "clickable" Sage on Mac, so here's another way to do something like steps 3-6, with a few remarks interspersed. This is also all possible with the Property List Editor, but that's a hassle to find.
After installation, open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal. A Terminal window should appear. Instead of typing anything in, go to the File menu, and click on Save (shortcut is Shift-S). Then click the radio button "Execute this command (specify complete path)", and type in " /Applications/sage/ sage; exit" (or " /Applications/sage/sage -notebook; exit" for going directly to the notebook). ***The space before the first slash is very important!*** Then click just in front of the first slash and remove the space. (I don't know why, but as soon as you type the /, the Mac automatically assumes you are looking for somewhere to save it, not the actual location of the command. The space removal is also weird - sometimes it works without doing this, and it should work without removing it, but I haven't found any rhyme or reason for when it actually works.) You can name your future clicker whatever you want in the dialog box - for instance, Sage. If you want to save it someplace more easily accessible than the default (for instance, on the Desktop), click on the blue downward pointing triangle and find your favorite place. Then click Save, and quit Terminal. Now you can put this anywhere, or on your Dock. (It is also fun to take the Sage icon from sagemath.org, or the other one from groups.google.com/group/sage-devel, drag it to the Desktop, open that file, and copy the image (e.g. Command-C). Now click *once* on the icon for the Terminal Sage shortcut you just created, and do File -> Get Info (or Command-I). Click the tiny icon in the upper- left corner once, and Paste (Command-V) - voila, it's Sage!) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
