request for help on Saturday 15, SageDays 127

[Martin R]

Dear all,

I will have a few participants without sage installed on their laptop.  Two of them, using Windows and MacOS respectively, will need to install sage on Saturday.  I don't have any experience using Windows and MacOS, I would thus very much appreciate if somebody who knows what to do in case of trouble could be available on Saturday morning.

The MacOS user uses emacs, does anybody know whether there are obstacles to using sage-shell-mode (which I personally use and like on linux)?

The Windows user knows pycharm, if I recall correctly this is a good option, right?

Best wishes from a rather nervous Martin :-)

Hi Martin,

I will be there, available on Sat. morning, I use a Mac and if needed I can give a hand on Windows also.

there are few things these people can do to prepare ahead:

on macOS - make sure Homebrew is installed and up to date, so that
Sage can be built using many packages available there. Else (some
people refuse to use Homebrew), an up to date Conda install, and
then building Sage in a Conda environment is normally quite quick.

on Windows - make sure WSL (a built-in virtual machine running Linux)
is installed, as
that's basically the only way to run an up to date Sage on Wndows.

HTH,
Dima
