Magma intergration in Sage

[Ugur]

Could someone please inform me or direct to a step-by-step guide how
to integrate MAGMA in SAGE? I am a windows user, and I am using
windows version MAGMA. I want to be able to use it in "notebook"-
browser interface of SAGE.

Any help is hearty welcomed as I am a newbie in SAGE.

Cheers,
Ugur.

Thanks for the online "Installation Guide" link, unfortunately, local
copy of the guide does not work.

No, there is not any related information about the interface.

First, I need to modify "paths" accordingly to interact VM-Player
virtual machine with Windows and tell it where and how it can access
to Magma. This is what I want to learn. I prefer, as usual, "notebook
interface" of sage, but I think it should not be a problem. Main
problem is "How can I modify paths in Sage VM to interact with Windows
version of Magma"?

As requested, I will post the error message I got:
"TypeError: Unable to start magma because the command 'magma -n'
failed." when I run the command "magma(2+3)"

Paths are defined accordingly in Windows, "magma" command works from
any place in windows but it is not recognized or used by VM.

Unfortunately, It is impossible to call any program installed into
Windows from the VMware version of Sage.

Is there a seperate Windows version of Sage which is not VMware OR is
it possible to compile Sage for Windows easily? Do I have any chance
of using Sage and Magma in Windows?

[William Stein]

Your only option is to get a *LInux* version of Magma and installed it
into the virtual machine. There is no native windows version of Sage.
