I don't know what the (Linux distribution of the) ova ships with, and depends on whether you at all have internet access from the virtual machine.

Just download http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/packages/seadata.tgz (probably from Windows), copy the file into some temporary directory in your virtual machine, start a shell and change to that directory, and there do

$ tar xzf seadata.tgz  # extract the GNU-zip-compressed tar
$ cp data/seadata/* "$SAGE_ROOT"/local/share/pari/seadata/
$ rm -rf data/

where $SAGE_ROOT is what

sage: print SAGE_ROOT

gives, the "root" of your Sage installation.

(You can of course delete seadata.tgz afterwards as well.)


Would it be worth providing an optional Sage package for this, for convenience? (It would also be slightly smaller than PARI's .tgz ...)

    I tested this.  AFter putting the large seadata files into that
    place the code

    sage: p

    sage: a4

    sage: E = gp.ellinit([0,0,0,a4,a6])
    sage: sage: ap = E.ellap(p)

    runs fine.
