Got it! This makes sense now. And Jason convinced me to join this list. :) > Do let me (or the sage-support list) know if there's any confusion about > that wiki page, or if you have suggestions to make it better. I have two suggestions. 1. I had some confusion when I ran sage the first time, because it complained about permissions for creating some files. So I ran it with sudo in front, and it worked fine. Now thereafter, I can run it without sudo and it doesn't complain. So it seems the first run has to have privileges to make certain files?? 2. When I run sage start_notebook.sage it claims that nb1 cannot run the command sage (no such file or directory). I thought perhaps I had to add the sage path to that user's ~/.bashrc, but that did not fix the problem. Thus the whole "sage start_notebook.sage" fails in the end.
