I think that does not answer the original question, because:

Sage generally comes "with batteries included", and if something is
optional then it means that there is an optional Sage package.

In particular, installating Macaulay2 system-wide on your machine is
not how it is made available to Sage. I hope I understood correctly
that by "from Fedora" you mean that you did not try to install an
optional Sage package.

However, if a system that is not part of Sage (like magma or Maple) is
available system wide then it should be possible to use it by Sage's
"pexpect" interfaces, without the need of any additional
installations.

Cheers,
Simon
