Because of this annoyance with cloning a repo and building the documentation, the standard documentation is available for download from http://www.sagemath.org/help.html This should get the hassle out of using Sage for most people. If they don't want to build the documentation themselves, they can download it in either HTML or PDF format. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
