building Sage

[John Cremona]

I have been building Sage on linux computers for 20 years. I
currently have a working 10.9.beta0 on my laptop but also need to keep
working versions (not development versions) on other ubuntu machines.
I have never in my life knowingly used conda and I don't know what it
is. BUT the installation guides tell me that I should install conda
-- both for installing a development version and for a non-development
version.

This cannot be necessary as I have never used or installed conda, and
I have built version 10.9.beta0.

Please can someone confirm that it is still OK to clone the latest
version (let's say, the latest release), do ./bootstrap and
./configure and make? Followed by (e.g.) make
database_cremona_ellcurve?

I'm sure you are misreading the documentation.

The installation guide has tabs to choose the platform and the OS, and it refers to the development guide for installation from source.

I see the following on https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/walkthrough.html

------------------------------------------

Development Walk-through

This section is a concise overview of the Sage development process. We will see how to make changes to the Sage source code and record them in the Git revision control system.

Quick start

If you are in a hurry, you can skip the details and just follow these steps:

1. Install Git (see Installing Git) and Conda.

------------------------------------------

is this the wrong page?

"classical" (sage-distro) install is described in
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/README.md
(not sure why the developer workthrough got so Conda-centric, but at
least this is
certainly a quick way to get something running)
