Once sage worked, but now it does not work by doing the same thing.

[ana...@g.uky.edu]

I use Mac 10.10.4.

The other day, sage worked. 

When I coded 

$./sage 

in the directory /SageMath in terminal,

sage popped up and I could use it.

But now, if I do the same thing, or if I run the following command,

students-MacBook-Pro:SageMath student$ pwd
/Users/student/SageMath
students-MacBook-Pro:SageMath student$ ./sage
students-MacBook-Pro:SageMath student$ 

Then, nothing happens.

I wonder what is wrong and how to fix it.

/SageMath and  /Users/student/SageMath are not the same directories.

Which one did you use the 1st time?

Maybe the correct directory is /Applications/SageMath?
You could search for "sage" to check where it is located.

Then I would recommend putting a symbolic link
to the `sage` executable somewhere in your PATH,
for instance, assuming the executable is at
/Applications/SageMath/sage, do

$ sudo ln -s /Applications/SageMath/sage /usr/local/bin/sage

and then you can launch Sage from any Terminal window
by just typing

$ sage

I am sure that at first I used the path /Users/student/SageMath,

because I did 

$cd ~/SageMath

$./sage

Then it worked before but not anymore.

When I changed the directly using

$cd ~/SageMath, I end up at /Users/student/SageMath.

Also, if I tried to find all directories named SageMath,

I get only /Users/student/SageMath.

Could you think of any other thing I can try?

If not, maybe I start the whole download & install process again and see if it works?
