Comment (by kcrisman):
I like this overall but feel like
{{{
+ mkdir -p TEXMFHOME/tex/latex
+ ln -s SAGE_ROOT/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex.sty
TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/sagetex.sty
}}}
only works if people are always installing Sage in the same place every
time, which might not be the case, especially if they are downloading
binaries that are named after both the Sage version and the system (in the
Mac app case, at the bottom of a long path via the app bundle). What do
you think a good way to deal with that is? I don't want to have a crash
course in filesystems, but this could be a (small) piece of the confusion.
Also, the "spectacularly unpleasant experience" is very similar to #18951,
or at least to the email I got which precipitated my opening that
ticket... I wonder if sometimes following even one step wrong causes the
other steps to just "not work"?
