I managed to install *sage-9.0-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64.app.dmg*
<http://mirrors.mit.edu/sage/osx/intel/sage-9.0-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64.app.dmg>
on a Mac running OSX 10.13. The app version seems to work better than
the non-app version, and this one worked much better than the older 8.8
version I tried first.
The key is to be an administrator. That is needed at several points.
First, when copying the app to the Applications folder. Then I had to
start the program and the computer would tell me it wasn't from the
Apple store so it couldn't be run. Once that happened, going into the
security settings (and entering the admin password again) allowed me to
say "run it anyway". Next time I started the program it spend a good
long time "verifying" it. That may have required more administrator
password. But eventually I got it to run and correctly open a notebook.
On a Windows machine, a non-administrator can install Sage "for yourself
only", but Macs don't seem to allow that.

Seriously, has anyone got one of the current releases of Sage to

I tried several times, lately with version 8.8 for 10.14.5. I
dropped the binary in Applications.
It can start up then - it opens a browser window which just
stalls; it has a drop-down menu called "Terminal Session",
which doesn't do anything, and if I go directly into the App and
execute ./sage, all kinds of errors appear
(many about permissions) and it crashes.
Unfortunately I want to run a program built on this platform, and
really need a working version.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
I would try this version:
sage-8.9-OSX_10.14.6-x86_64.tar.bz2 (1058.94 MB)
as it worked fine for me on macOS 10.14.6 using the following commands
in the terminal:
cd /Applications
mv ~/Downloads/sage-8.9-OSX_10.14.6-x86_64.tar.bz2 .
tar xf sage-8.9-OSX_10.14.6-x86_64.tar.bz2
cd SageMath
./sage
Best,
Nathan

What precisely is profound in Christianity is that Christ is both our
atoner and our judge, not that one is our atoner and another our
judge, for then we would nevertheless come to be judged, but that the
atoner and the judge are the same.
