A "console" is HMI for UNIX or linux computer ... long time ago, the "console" was software handling what you type at keyboard and displaying on a screen the result.
Nowadays computers handle many users and there are more than one "window" displayed on physical screen : software handling requests are now named "terminal" ..."console" is the main "terminal", handling HMI of the main user and usually displaying internal computer messages. If your computer is a Linux PC (operating system Ubuntu?) then the "console" is running, sometimes in text non graphics mode, or you can have it on you desktop graphic display....usually type some magic keyboard keys to pop it up. If your computer is a PC with internet browser and you have remote access to the actual computer where is your file (for example sage cloud) then the "console" is running on the remote computer....and you have on meu in the browser window to start a "terminal". I think your computer is Linux PC because you want (in your 1st post) to download and install sagemath. 1. start a terminal on your computer, home-directory of user 2. check if you have "lrzip" using terminal commands : simply "lrzip" or "which lrzip" 3. if you don't have, download and install "lrzip"...source is at https://github.com/ckolivas/lrzip..and browsing the web a little you can find binary distribution for you computer (I suppose 32 bits because of 686 in flename .lr..., your computer can be 64 bits too) 4. change directory, and unzip with "lrzip -d Ubuntu_14.04_LTS_sage-6.7- i686-Linux.tar.lrz" 5. follow the sagemath install hints Dominique -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
