It combines the power of many existing open-source packages +into a common Python-based interface. +Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, + +Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line, +by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook +interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part +of a full Slackware installation). + +Building sage requires >5GB of disk space, so you may need to +redefine $TMP and/or $OUTPUT. + +See README.BUILDOPTS for additional (important) information about +build options and such. |
