Sage 7.2 not starting up under Mac OS X ver. 10.12

[Samuel Dupree]

I'm attempting to run Sage 7.2 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X ver. 10.12 (Sierra). Sage won't start up and it gives me the following messages:

Did you install Sage before upgrading to macOS 10.12 Sierra?

Or did you have Sage installed under OS X 10.11 El Capitan

and then upgrade to macOS 10.12 Sierra?

Progress on building Sage for macOS 10.12 Sierra is tracked

at Sage trac ticket #21567:

Yes, but pre-built binaries for OS X 10.11 work on OS X 10.12 (at least in my experience). My guess is that's what the poster is using.

You may be running Sage in a directory you don't have permission for, or at least maybe you aren't running it with enough permission to create the .sage/ directory (env var DOT_SAGE) that is needed.  This is a typical error message in that situation.  If it's your own computer, that is a little surprising, though.

[Kannan Moudgalya]

I used to run Sage in a old version of Mac OS X, which I have now upgraded to Sierra.  I reinstalled Sage 8, which seems to work fine.  On opening the new Sage, on the browser, I see links to the applications/notebooks that I previously generated.  Unfortunately, these links do not work.  I get the message "Notebook Bug -- missing template html/notebook/worksheet_page.html".  How can I fix these links?

Instead of posting a followup to a thread with the subject not reflecting your problem,

please start a new thread.

Please also specify how you installed Sage.
