Salve, ho provato a scaricare Sage per linux/64bit versione 8.7.

Vorrei sapere come faccio a lanciare il programma dal terminale.

Ho provato a usare la dicitura "sage -notebook" ma non parte. Qualcuno sa dirmi come devo fare?

After downloading the compressed Sage for Linux/64bit,

extract the compressed archive, move it to some location

(let us say it becomes `/path/to/sagemath` which could mean

`~/sagemath` or `/opt/sagemath` or any location you chose),

then change to the Sage root folder by running

```

$ cd /path/to/sagemath

```

then run one of the following

```

$ ./sage  # for the Sage REPL

$ ./sage -n jupyter  # for the Jupyter notebook

$ ./sage -n sagenb  # for the SageNB notebook

```

Or place an alias to `sage` in an appropriate location

that is part of your PATH, for example by running

```

$ WHAT=/path/to/sagemath/sage

$ WHERE=/usr/local/bin

$ sudo ln -s $WHAT $WHERE

```

so that you can start Sage from anywhere using one of

```

$ sage  # for the Sage REPL

$ sage -n jupyter  # for the Jupyter notebook

$ sage -n sagenb  # for the SageNB notebook

```

(Note: the sagenb notebook will only work with

old Python2-based versions of Sage.)

Unless you have a good reason to use an old Python2-based

version of Sage I would suggest using a more recent,

Python3-based version of Sage, such as SageMath 9.2,

and using Jupyter rather than the legacy SageNB notebook

which is no longer maintained.
