I'm not exactly sure what that is. I opened the terminal, typed sage and it asked me if I wanted to install it. It installed from the Ubuntu site, at least somewhere, I kept seeing the http links to where it was downloading from. It is also release 3.0.5, so a bit outdated. Is there an easy way to uninstall this and install it the proper way? I'm very new to linux and have had a hard time finding real step by step instructions for installing sage, so when the terminal offered to install it, well, I sure was glad to let it. I also downloaded the tar.gz file for the atom architecture, but wasn't sure where to install it to make it work best. Any help would be great :) Thanks much for your reply. > > The way that tests are normally run is by going to the root directory of > the Sage installation and running "make test" or "make testlong".
