Hi! I am far away of being a OSX guru, but I managed to get my SAGE working. 

It use to work properly but now I got the following message:


Error: Tried to use Sage's Python which was not yet installed.

If this was called from an spkg-install script for another 

package you should add $(PYTHON) as a dependency in 

build/pkgs/<pkg>/dependencies


I looked for solutions but I could not find answers. I would appreciate help.


Best,

Anita

Probably a MacOS update broke your Sage installation.

If so, reinstalling might be the only  known way to fix this.


Best,

Anita

Thanks a lot!
I am installing a new version of sage. I have received several times (more than 20) a message like

macOS no puede verificar el desarrollador de la app “_sha3.cpython-37m-darwin.so”. ¿Seguro que quieres abrirla?

Which means that the developer is unknown and it asks me if I want to open it. It is a warning of malware. I have authorize its installation, but I have been doing this one by one...is it ok? or usual?

Thanks, and I am sorry for bothering you but I use sage regularly and I do not want to lose it.
Best,
Anita

yes, this is an issue due to Apple "improving" their security in the latest MacOS.

I believe there are instructions on

and perhaps other posts there.

Thanks. I did:
sudo spctl --master-disable
and it worked. I have a question: Did I leave my computer vulnerable by doing so?

Second: I was used to use notebook() but it did not work. 

Deep thanks for your help

it depends upon settings of your usual account. If it allows password-less automatic installation of random stuff from the net, then yes...


Second: I was used to use notebook() but it did not work. .
start Sage in the terminal as

sage -n 

to get Jupyter notebook - or a convertor from sagenb (which is Python 2 only, so it is being retired)

I guess your computer is left vulnerable.
So you should use
```
sudo spctl --master-enable
```

We are fixing slow start-up of Sagemath and also problems of permissions.
SageMath-8.9 is OK for MacOS upto MacOS Mojave.
SageMath-9.0 needs techniques for installation on MacOS Mojave.
Many people complains problems of SageMath-9.0 on MacOS Catalina.
I only understood two or three symptoms reported but I located one essential problem.

So, we are in a rather transient situation.

For the user's of sagenb notebook, I'd rather recommend to use SageMath-8.9 while
waiting for SageMath get OK with Catalina. I think you are in this category.

For MacOS freak, I recommend to try the following procedure in the same account:
(This works for MacOS Mojave. On the other hand, no one reported it to work on Catalina.)
(1) Copy SageMath-9.0 from disk-image to /Applications. Do not double click it at this moment.
(2) Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
(3) In the terminal window, issue the following command
```
myhome$ /Applications/SageMath-9.0.app/sage
```
(4) Quit sage after the sage-prompt asks you for input something.
(5) Diable verification by "sudo spctl --master-disable".
(6) Double click /Applications/SageMath-9.0.app
(7) Specify your folder for Sagemath when a dialogue asks it.
     This folder is something close to the folder tree  ~/.sage of notebooks.
     But it must be different from ~/.sage.
     Sagemath does not start-up on Catalina if this folder is not specified at the dialogue.
(8) If Sagemath opened a web-page of jupyter notebook
     and you verify this page accept programs of Sagemath (e.g. print("hello") ),
     then quit Sagemath by the menu.
(9) Use " sudo spctl --master-enable" to restart protection.

I guess this explanation gives an impression of a gap between (7) and (8).
This is because we are still fighting the problem behind (7).

If you are in this category, I welcome claims from you.

Alternatively, if you want to go to new versions of Sagemath,
please wait for Sagemath-9.1.

Thanks. I tried "sage -n Jupyter", and my browser opened but without success in entering SAGE.
I will install SAGA 8.1 to see if it works.

At least on Linux, it must be jupyter, not Jupyter

Once again, to get an idea what goes wrong, we need to see the
messages you get in the terminal after you started this.

9.1 ?
It's not ready yet.

Yes. Thanks. I manage in less than enough in MacOS. I will try to install 8.9 version. I'll report if this works.
Could be useful to other user

Yes, version <= 8.9 is the solution for now.
If the number of notebooks is not too large, upgrading sagenb notebooks to jupyter notebooks
might be a good idea.
In the next release, the error messages will not be missing.
In that time please try "sage --notebook=export --list"
and "sage --notebook=export ----ipynb TARGETFILENAME admin:NN"
for upgrading notebooks.

I guess it is about the page of title "Home".
We do not have access to sagenb notebooks.
Instead we have access to jupyter notebooks.
For the current situation, you do not have any noebooks.
That is why no notebook is listed in the page.
You can try "New" button at the upper right corner below the grey horizontal line.
If you play with some little program in the new notebook,
it might be a good chance to test upgrading sagenb notebooks.

This "upgrade" is only possible from command line.
The two relevant "sage --notebook=export --list" and "sage --notebook=export ----ipynb TARGETFILENAME admin:NN". The former prints a list of sagenb notebooks.
An example is here.

```

Unique ID       | Notebook Name

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

admin:0         | Save 30% by Sagemath  (~/Manuals/SageTutorial9.0.pdf)

admin:1         | "Rabbit's population" $F_n$ is like $((1+\sqrt{5})/2)^n$!

admin:2         | Integral #1: $f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$, $|x| < 1$.

admin:3         | Integral #2: why is f(x) = x * sqrt(1-x^2), (x in [-1,1]) easier?

admin:4         | Oval body & `tail' of @rana-aerea

admin:5         | Calculus of log|x|, x > 0.

admin:6         | mycalc

admin:7         | mycalc

```


The other command upgrades the notebook.

For example,

"sage --notebook=export ----ipynb mycalc-a admin:6"

converts the notebook with title "mycalc" with the unique id "admin:6".

It is possible some notebooks of yours have unique id of the form "guest:0"

or some other "user name". I guess 

"sage --notebook=export ----ipynb guestnotebook guest:0"

also works.

Thanks, but I installed 8.9 and it did not work. Back again to point 0.
I did the line "sudo....disable" but I still get:

“python2.7” no se puede abrir porque no se puede verificar el desarrollador.


(meaning that python2.7 can not open because it could be a malware)

Thanks a lot for your support and patience but I gave up. I can not succeed. There are too many difficulties that I am not going to be able of solving: My older routines lost, my files with computations and examples. I do not know how to recover them. Perhaps I will try again in next future, with less anxiety and more energy.
Thanks again.

I am sorry for I might have given you extra work, which produced nothing.
I agree it is not a good time to use SageMath on Catalina.

Probably a MacOS update broke your Sage installation.

If so, reinstalling might be the only  known way to fix this.

Dear Dima,

I found something strange in this error message.
--------
anirojas@MacBook-de-Anita ~ % /Applications/SageMath/sage --notebook=export --list

File "/Applications/SageMath/local/bin/sagenb-export"

File "/Applications/SageMath/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sagenb_export/cmdline.py",

File "/Applications/SageMath/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sagenb_export/sagenb_reader.py"


On MacOS, normally, we see

---------

/Applications/SageMath-9.0.app/sage --notebook=export --list

/Applications/SageMath-9.0.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sagenb_export/...



I do not understand why "Contents/Resources/sage/" disappeared.

More strangely, functions defined in these files are actually executed.

Is it possible some problem in setting PATH leads to python3 bundled with Catalina controls

Sagemath instead of python3.7 included in Sagemath?


I do not have Catalina installed. So, I cannot verify anything on it.

I only heard Catalina now has python3 not python2.

The default shell changed to zsh instead of bash.

This might be due to a different binary Sage package installed (.app

the recent Sage 9.1 betas have ability to use system Python3 rarher

But then there would not be "SageMath" in some paths at all.

Hi. Thanks. Sage 9.0 is working on my mac, still with some issues.

I have to run in a terminal:
 

sudo spctl --master-disable

~/Applications/SageMath/sage -n jupyter

(without "sudo..." it does not open because some archives can not be checked)

My older routines don't work. They use GAP and I got the message:

“gap-bin” no se puede abrir porque no se puede verificar el desarrollador.
macOS no puede verificar si esta app está libre de software malicioso.

(Same as before: gap-bin can not be executed because it can not be verified and it could be a malware)

I can not even use the line G=SmallGroup(2,1)

I thought it was a problem of security and I gave full access to disk to sage, I work under this "sudo....disable", but still..

Well. Thanks again for all your support. I am sure the main problem is that I am barely qualified in anything more than a user level of mac.

Best,
Anita

The following says the `kbmag` GAP package cannot be loaded.

    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("kbmag")')
    fail

It fails to load because it is not installed in Sage's GAP.

Thankfully, installing packages has become a pleasant task
thanks to Michael Torpey's `PackageManager` GAP package.

Load the `PackageManager` GAP package, whose job
is to help you install further packages:

    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("PackageManager")')
    true

and let it install `kbmag` with this command:

    sage: libgap.eval('InstallPackage("kbmag")')
    true

Now loading `kbmag` works:

    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("kbmag")')
    true

The `kbmag` package is now loaded, ready to
try and make rewriting systems confluent.

Thanks a lot. But I also got:

sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("PackageManager")')

fail


 Should I add (or install) some gap package inside SageMath folder?

Sorry

Forgot one step. Run this:

sage -i gap_packages
After that, the steps indicated earlier should work.

Thanks. It did work! It has recovered almost all his previous capabilities. 
Although, I still do not know how to add the SmallGroup Data base directly to sage. 

Currently it is working by doing, for instance: 
g=gap.SmallGroup(6,2)

And before this Catalina's upgrade I used to write just
g=SmallGroup(6,2)

I am deeply grateful to everyone who helped me, and to SAGE developers.

Best,

(I hope MacOS does not mess with my running softwares again...)

I believe this has been removed many Sage versions ago. You can still
just define it yourself:

sage: def SmallGroup(*args):
....: return libgap.SmallGroup(*args)
sage: SmallGroup(6,2)
<pc group of size 6 with 2 generators>

(PS. don't use gap.* prefix, use libgap.* prefix, as above, as gap.*
functions are deprecated - libgap.*
provides a much faster adn more reliable interface)

Dear Developers, I hope you are well. Here I am struggling with the installation of Sage9.1 (I gave up on Sage9.2) in my new Imac.

I succeeded up to some point with Sage9.1 but when running sage -n jupyter
It opens Chrome and the right page but when I try to open a Sage9.1 Notebook it says:

Creating Notebook Failed

An error occurred while creating a new notebook.
Unexpected error while saving file: Untitled.ipynb [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/Untitled.ipynb'
I have tried all your instructions from last time unsuccessfully. 
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Anita
(Ah! I have macOS BigSur 11.2.3 on a  3,1 GHz Intel Core i5 de seis núcleos)

Sorry! Me again. I got further: I manage to start sage -n jupyter. I did some trigonometric graphs
but my gap-routines didn't work. So I run in a terminal:

/Application/ XXX /sage -i gap_packages


and then I got backwards to this:

**********************************************************************


Oops, Sage crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...


A crash report was automatically generated with the following information:

  - A verbatim copy of the crash traceback.

  - A copy of your input history during this session.

  - Data on your current Sage configuration.


It was left in the file named:

'/Users/anitaimac/.sage/ipython-5.0.0/Sage_crash_report.txt'

If you can email this file to the developers, the information in it will help

them in understanding and correcting the problem.


You can mail it to: sage-support at sage-s...@googlegroups.com

with the subject 'Sage Crash Report'.


If you want to do it now, the following command will work (under Unix):

mail -s 'Sage Crash Report' sage-s...@googlegroups.com < /Users/anitaimac/.sage/ipython-5.0.0/Sage_crash_report.txt


In your email, please also include information about:

- The operating system under which the crash happened: Linux, macOS, Windows,

  other, and which exact version (for example: Ubuntu 16.04.3, macOS 10.13.2,

  Windows 10 Pro), and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit;

- How Sage was installed: using pip or conda, from GitHub, as part of

  a Docker container, or other, providing more detail if possible;

- How to reproduce the crash: what exact sequence of instructions can one

  input to get the same crash? Ideally, find a minimal yet complete sequence

  of instructions that yields the crash.


To ensure accurate tracking of this issue, please file a report about it at:

http://trac.sagemath.org


Hit <Enter> to quit (your terminal may close):

Now nothing works. I tried sage 9.1 and 9.2, and also sage.app 9.1. Nothing. 

I'll stop here and wait for your help... Thanks.

Hi

Your initial error said Read Only Filesystem.

This is probably not related to sage. Perhaps your filesystem filled up or there is another problem?

Dear Samuel,
thank you very much for your help. I installed the version you told me. It worked in the basics, so thanks!
But I still have some problems. I write them here, hoping you can help me. Thanks in advance!
1. I double click on SageMath icon, and it opens in a Terminal. I do not know how to open it as a Sage notebook in
jupyter. In my macbook I run sage -n jupyter.
2. I have some routines using the underlying GAP. They do not work here. I tried (and fail) the following:
sage:  libgap.eval('LoadPackage("kbmag")')                                      
fail

Thank you very much for all your help and support.
With best regards,
Anita

Anita, 

1. The version at:


was just updated last night.  Now double-clicking the icon should produce a window which offers a choice of terminal or Jupyter.

2. I don't think kbmag comes with Sage, or at least your command failed on three different versions of Sage I tried (one Mac, two Linux).  So I assume this is a file in one of your own directories that you are trying to load.  If so, probably the file is not in the directory where Sage starts (which is /Users/anita or similar).

Best,

Nathan

Nathan, thank you very much for your answer. I have some comments:

1. There is something wrong with Jupyter in my Mac. I do not know what it is. I manage to run it but
it can not upload files (that do upload in the Terminal version of Sage). So if I can make the Terminal
version of Sage work, it would be great.

2. Regarding the gap issue (kbmag) In my old version of Sage I run the following commands in order to work:

In a terminal:

/Applications/SageMath/sage -i gap_packages

Then in sage:
libgap.eval(‘LoadPackage(“PackageManager")')
libgap.eval('InstallPackage("kbmag")')

Now loading `kbmag` works:


    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("kbmag")')
    true

But sadly the first step (sage -i gap_packages) does not work now. That is why, I think, everything fails after that.
Moreover, after that line, my sage does not start anymore and I have to reinstall it.

I hope I have explained my problem clearly. I definitely can use some help.
Best,
Anita

kbmag is a part of Sage's optional package gap-packages

One can certainly get it, but it might entail building Sage from source.
(Not sure whether with Conda one would get it, or it's not in Conda)

It's not in conda. We have almost all the gap packages except for a few problematic ones. (compile failures)
`kbmag` is one of them. https://github.com/conda-forge/gap-feedstock/blob/19ff5a3e3365bd1ef9ed9bd9315f0596d9e7de21/recipe/build.sh#L44-L48

it's not clear to me why these have to be disabled. (I understand
about xgap and polymakeinterface, but the rest
looks fine, they are just not very clean mostly C code packages - and
they have been updated recently, they
build on everything Sage builds)

Any pointers on reproducing these failures?

Hello. I hope you are OK. Here I am back trying to get sage working in my new mac 
(with Big Sur 11.2.3). Sage still works in the old one (fortunately).

Now I have a problem with the package kbmag from gap.

When working I got the error I pasted at the end of this email.
I have tried the following to solve it (which works in my old computer), unsuccesfully:

1. In a Terminal:

sage -i gap_packages


and got: make: *** No rule to make target `all-toolchain'.  Stop.


2. In sage:


libgap.eval('LoadPackage("PackageManager")')


and got: fail


3. In sage:


libgap.eval('InstallPackage("kbmag")')


and got:

The Sage shipped by the SageMath macOS app
can run Sage and install many extra packages,
but does not ship build tools that are necessary
for installing certain extra packages.

So you might want to install a fuller Sage.

Some suggested steps follow. Lines that start
with a dollar sign and space are commands to run
in a terminal (without the initial dollar sign).

A.  Visit the SageMath macOS download page:

B.  Select a mirror close to you

C.  Click "intel"

D.  Get the latest version for your system,
    for instance if you have macOS 11, get:
    `sage-9.3-OSX_11.2.3-x86_64.tar.bz2`

E.  Move the dowloaded `.tar.bz2` file to the location
    of your choice, for instance `/Applications`

F.  Extract it, either by a double click or with
    ```
    $ cd /Applications
    $ tar xf sage-9.3-OSX_11.2.3-x86_64.tar.bz2
    ```
    and get a folder called SageMath.

G.  Clear any extended attributes macOS might
    have put on the files in that folder with
    ```
    $ xattr -cr /Applications/SageMath
    ```

H.  Create a symlink to the Sage executable,
    placing it somewhere in your path, for example:
    ```
    $ ln -sf /Applications/SageMath/sage /usr/local/bin
    ```
    If there is a permission problem, use sudo:
    ```
    $ sudo ln -sf /Applications/SageMath/sage /usr/local/bin
    ```
    (enter your admin password for that Mac when prompted).
    (Note that if the version without sudo failed, you can
    avoid re-typing or copy-pasting the whole ln command:
    use "up-arrow" to get the last command, hit Ctrl-A
    to move to the start of the line, then type `sudo`,
    hit Space, hit Enter.)

I.  Now you can start Sage from any location
    ```
    $ which sage
    /usr/local/bin/sage
    $ ls -halF $(which sage)
    ...
    $ sage --version
    ...
    $ sage
    ...
    ```
    Hit Ctrl-D, or type `quit` and hit Enter, to quit.

    To launch Jupyter, you can run
    ```
    $ sage -n jupyter
    ```

J.  Install any extra packages you like, e.g.
    ```
    $ sage -i fricas
    $ sage -i gap_packages
    $ sage -i jupyterlab_widgets
    $ sage --pip install RISE
    $ sage --pip install jupytext
    ```

K.  To install extra GAP packages, e.g. `kbmag`,
    one way is to use the GAP package `PackageManager`.
    
    This can be done in GAP. Here we start Sage's GAP
    and work there (don't forget the semicolons!):
    ```
    $ sage --gap
    ...
    gap> LoadPackage("PackageManager");
    true
    gap> InstallPackage("kbmag");
    true
    gap> LoadPackage("kbmag");
    true
    ```
    To quit GAP, either hit Ctrl-D or type `quit;` and hit Enter.

    Or this can be done in Sage using `libgap`:
    ```
    $ sage -q
    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("PackageManager")')
    true
    sage: libgap.eval('InstallPackage("kbmag")')
    true
    sage: libgap.eval('LoadPackage("kbmag")')
    true
    ```

    Note: kbmag is installed once and for all. Next time
    you start GAP or Sage, you can directly load it.

L.  If you want to make the SageMath Jupyter kernel
    available to a system-wide Jupyter installation:
    ```
    $ ORIG=/Applications/SageMath/local/share/jupyter/kernels
    $ DEST=~/Library/Jupyter/kernels
    $ ln -sf $ORIG/sagemath $DEST
    ```

M.  If you want the ability to double-click `.ipynb` files
    to open them, install nteract from

Hope this helps. Let us know if you got things working.

P.S. The instructions helped Anita get kbmag working.
They also helped someone install PyNormaliz, see
