someone who had installed octave and macaulay 2, but the app wasn't finding
them because of its minimal setting for PATH. This makes
I should have mentioned that it is always possible to run the main
executable of a macOS app from the command line. E.g.
$ /Applications/SageMath.app/Contents/MacOS/SageMath
When you do that, the process that is launched is almost identical to the
one that is launched when you click on the icon
Hi John,
A macOS app launched from an icon has no stdout or stderr. Apple's NSLog
command will write to stderr if it exists, and to a log file if it does not
exist. But simply writing to stderr as most unix programs do has no effect
if stderr does not exist. When using the terminal as the input
Hi Marc,
Very good question. I think that allowing users to modify the standard
config files is the right thing to do, but I'm really not sure. I worry

Thank you for figuring that out Samuel. Now here is a question for both of
you. The macOS app intentionally sets a minimal environment when it starts
sage. It is intentionally minimal because it would be dangerous, in terms
of security, but more importantly in terms of the potential for creat
Hi Samuel,
Thank you for this. One thing: I made a mistake in my comments on
ask.sagemath.org. Changing sys.path changes the Python path, not the path
for executables. One option is to use
import os; os.environ["PATH"] += ":/usr/local/bin"
Any better ways to do this? Your pointer on how to
