How to change SAGE_ROOT?

[Han Xiao]

I installed SAGE 7.0 from the source.

But it won't start and it returns

/usr/local/bin/sage: line 118: cd: /Applications/Sage/sage: Not a directory

/usr/local/bin/sage: cannot determine SAGE_ROOT directory

But after setting 

$ export SAGE_ROOT=/Applications/SAGE

It works properly. However, every time my computer restarts, I need to reset that again.

It seems that I need to set the SAGE_ROOT value. But which file should I edit?

Try

echo "export SAGE_ROOT=/Applications/SAGE" >> .profile

I'd recommend not making that persistent, this is a bug that needs to be fixed in Sage. What kind of system is that anyways and how did you install Sage?

I'm using the latest Mac OS X, and Sage is installed from the source.

I added the following to my .bash_profile.

export SAGE_ROOT=/Applications/SAGE PATH=$PATH:${SAGE_ROOT} 

And now it works like a charm. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Did you uncomment sage in file sage ?
#SAGE_ROOT=/path/to/sage-version
This should be enaugh not need to add it in .bash_profile ?
If you want it for all user you create a link :
sudo ln -s /path/sage/sage /usr/bin/sage
Sorry I didn't follow the mail
