Hi, First of all many thanks to all of you who are improving the installation instructions!

This is broken, now. > To avoid repeating the same advice to people asking how to install Sage 9.5 in Ubuntu in a *simple* way, I've prepared the following page, which has been improved by Samuel Lelièvre: [1] https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/install_ubuntu.html I've already got testimony of persons not familiar with bash commands (not speaking about building from source) who could succeed in installing Sage 9.5 in Ubuntu 20.04 by following these simple instructions. Of course, this is somehow redundant with Sage's installation guide or README.md, but this provides the minimal required steps, without having to read the full installation guide. Maybe [1] could be moved from https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/ to a better accessible place, e.g. to Sage's wiki (legacy or Trac). In particular, at the moment, this page can only be ammended by sending a PR to https://github.com/sagemanifolds/WebSite. It would be pretty easy to prepare a bash script executing all the commands listed in [1] and distribute that script from the download section of Sage home page. But I don't know if this is a good idea (security issues?) Eric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
