Question about sagemath
Hello. As root, I installed sagemath ; now, the script 'sage' is in /usr/sbin/ ; so when I'm user 'math', I can't access it. Shall I remove package (being root) and reinstalled it as user 'math' or is there a method by, for instance, creating a symlink from /home/math/bin to /usr/sbin/ ? I'm still a newbie for archlinux :-) Regards. -- Philippe

Hi! How did you install sagemath? And what do you mean by "access it"? For what it's worth, /usr/sbin is just a symlink to /usr/bin. Still, no reason for your 'math' to not be able to use 'sage'. I've installed the sagemath package with pacman and my regular (non-root) user is able to use the 'sage' command just fine. -- Regards, Robin Candau / Antiz

I installed sagemath with pacman -S. In /usr/sbin 'sage' is not a symlink. I tried in /usr/bin and have a script too. The two scripts are exactly the same... When I said, i could not access sage, I wanted to say that /usr/sbin/sage didn't work from a simple user but sage is good. Sorry for my stupid question. Many thanks for your answer. -- Philippe
