Most of the notebook does not depend on having Sage installed. Onlya few miscellaneous functions are imported from Sage. We welcome help inmaking the notebook completely independent from Sage, or indeed, anyother help with the Sage notebook. Sage notebook development discussionshappen on thesage-notebook mailing list.

Install Sage, then dosage -python setup.py install in the currentdirectory. Then run the notebook from within Sage as follows:

sage: import sagenb.notebook.notebook_object as nbsage: nb.notebook(directory="mynotebook")

This will create a directorymynotebook.sagenb, and all notebookdata is stored in that directory.

SSL is required for OpenID and accessing HTTPS from the Sage shell. YourSage install should usually support SSL out of the box, but if youcompiled it from source on a machine without the libssl headers, it maynot. You can check for SSL support by runningimport ssl in the Sageconsole. If you get an error, then do the following.

1. Install the libssl headers on your system. On Debian-based systems,one way to do this is to runsudo apt-get install libssl-dev.
2. Recompile Sage's internal Python interpreter by runningsage -fpython.

See the Sage Developer's guide, part of the Sage documentation, forinstructions.
