Description¶

This dummy package represents the minimal requirements (system packages)for installing SageMath from source.

In addition to standardPOSIX utilitiesand thebash shell,the following standard command-line development tools must be installed on yourcomputer:

• make: GNU make, version 3.80 or later. Version 3.82 or later is recommended.

• m4: GNU m4 1.4.2 or later (non-GNU or older versions might also work).

• perl: version 5.8.0 or later.

• ar andranlib: can be obtained as part of GNU binutils.

• tar: GNU tar version 1.17 or later, or BSD tar (as provided on macOS).

• python: Python 3.4 or later, or Python 2.7.(This range of versions is a minimal requirement for internal purposes of the SageMathbuild system, which is referred to assage-bootstrap-python.)

Other versions of these may work, but they are untested.

On macOS, suitable versions of all of these tools are providedby the Xcode Command Line Tools. To install them, open a terminalwindow and runxcode-select--install; then click “Install” in thepop-up window. If the Xcode Command Line Tools are already installed,you may want to check if they need to be updated by typingsoftwareupdate-l.

On Linux,ar andranlib are in thebinutils package. The otherprograms are usually located in packages with their respective names.

On Redhat-derived systems not all perl components are installed bydefault and you might have to install theperl-ExtUtils-MakeMakerpackage.

To check if you have the above prerequisites installed, for exampleperl,type:

$ command -v perl

or:

$ which perl

on the command line. If it gives an error (or returns nothing), theneitherperl is not installed, or it is installed but not in yourPATH.
