The entire vmware machine has by default it's own file system. You should do the following: 1. make a new worksheet 2. click data ---> Upload or create file 3. Upload your lie spkg 4. In a cell in that worksheet type the following and press shift-enter: %sh sage -i ../data/lie-2.2.2.p3.spkg Now lie should be installed.
