About running SAGE on Windows 8

[Phoenix]

Does one have to a virtual box of Oracle to run SAGE on Windows?  I am currently on a Windows 8 machine.

The sage-6.7.ova file that I am running through this virtual box is immensely slow!

Any help?

Sage cannot run directly on windows, you must use a linux virtual machine if you want to run sage on windows. Of course it doesn't have to be virtualbox by oracle, you can use any virtual machine software you want.

If you want to use another virtualbox software, and you cant find an image with sage on, I'll gladly help you set it up in a normal linux installation.

Please write Sage rather than SAGE.

What processor? How much RAM?

well, this is not quite so - Sage can be built on Windows running Cygwin64, although this is still experimental.

the most radical advice is to install Linux :)
