I didn't change anything in the directory where Sage is installed. I just added a symbolic link. You can do the following: - If your Sage is installed in your home you can make a directory bin in your home, i.e. call "mkdir ~/bin" and then add a symbolic link to sage, i.e. do in ~/bin the following: "ln -s ~/directory/of/sage-installation/sage sage". This creates a symbolic link, which can be called, if you are logged in. (maybe you have to restart your system, so that .profile is executed, such that ~/bin is recognised.). - If you want a system wide installation, make the symbolic link in /usr/local/bin, i.e. "cd /usr/local/bin" and "ln -s /directory/to/sage-installation/sage sage". Then you can start sage by just typing "sage" anywhere. (on my system Sage is located in /opt/sage).
