Hi.

I had initially built sage from source on my Mac but after running some command, later running ./sage wasn't working. So I tried to rebuild it again but it's giving errors. I am also trying to maybe delete everything and then doing the process from start.
How do I go about removing everything and then rebuilding sage from source from the very start without any errors?

Thanks a lot for your time
Pawani

assuming you cloned the source from our github repo, you can run

git clean -fdx

to remove everything that was not in the clone. A slightly less
complete cleanup is done by running

make distclean

Does ./sage start for you?
If not, please post your config.log

It seems to me that you're trying to build Sage with outdated Python
3.9 from macOS Command Line Tools

Could you tell me what version of python to use? The make is just hanging at sagemath_doc_html-none.log.

I'd recommend either Python 3.12 from python.org (it will "replace"
the system-wide Python 3.9 upon installation), or
python 3.12 from Homebrew.

You can specify which python to use to build Sage by passing it (as
full path) to ./configure script, more precisely in the parameter
--with-system-python3=
or make sure that the python3 you want is 1st in the PATH.

Okay I will try with python 3.12. make build did complete with python 3.9 but upon running the command make ptestlong it gave errors. Also I tried running ./sage today which also gave errors.

it depends upon what you need. nice to know that not many things are broken (or not...), but
"make test" is testing most of the things, and is quicker

you might start by running

make

- this will build manuals

I am a new contributor. So I am right now exploring issues on github. So for this do I need make test? What exactly is this for
Also I have already run the “make” command.

1) to check that your Sage install is OK
2) after you made changes in Sage code, to check that you didn't break anything
