Dear all,

I have succesfully installed sage-7.2-OSX_10.11.4-x86_64.app.dmg on my MacBook Pro 2010 with the operating system Mac OS X El Capitan, numbered 10.11.4. However, I would like, if possible, to have a newer version of Sagemath, such as 8.0. My question then is:

Does anyone know whether the installer
sage-8.0-OSX_10.12.6-x86_64.app.dmg should work under El Capitan 10.11.4???

Thanks

Why not just install the Sage 8.1 binary for El Capitan?  I created this on 10.11.6, so it should be okay.  It should be on the mirrors ...

Dear kcrisman,

My version of El Capitan is 10.11.4, which does not match exactly 10.11.6. Should it work anyway?

Thanks a lot!

Also I have now learnt that the mirror I used did not have (and does not yet) available the version you mention... Mea culpa

The version sage-8.1-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64.app.dmg, available on some mirrors, seems to have worked... Thanks kcrisman!

Great, glad to help!  Hopefully eventually all things will show up on all mirrors.

Another way to install SageMath under macOS is via Homebrew.
