I mean, there are also binary builds of Sage for Linux, OSX, and Windows (via Cygwin), so you may be able to install any one of them depending on your platform; e.g. http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/binary.html (incidentally the section on there for Windows is outdated--I need to fix that). There was an official Debian package for Sage that was mostly working, but there hasn't been regular-enough maintenance on it to keep it working, something some of us are hoping to fix sometime... There's no reason necessarily to install Jupyter in a conda environment either--that's not necessarily any more "standard" than using your system's package installer--that said it's probably the best way to install the most recent Jupyter in a way that's consistent across platforms. If you wanted to install Sage in conda the best way would be to use the existing conda package for Sage and, if there are problems with that, to report those problems and keep things focused on maintaining the existing conda porting effort. > With that in mind, what would you recommend for me to try first?

Any additional thoughts would be appreciated! I'm not exactly sure what blocker is--you seem to be talking about two issues: Using the Sage kernel in Jupyter, and using an existing LaTeX distribution with Sage. Both are certainly possible. For the LaTeX installation it should work so long as the relevant executables such as pdflatex and maybe dvi2png and such can be located on the $PATH. I feel like somewhere there must be better existing documentation on exactly what the requirements are. Somebody else might know better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
