Best way to get Sage (I already have python)

Question

I have and use Python 2.7 on Windows 7. I'm wanting to download Sage, but I already have python and I don't want it to interfere somehow (double installing python, making my current programs run under the wrong installation of python, ect.).

Should I:

• Just install it regularly and call it a day
• ...Or do something else

Answer 1

Sage on Windows runs on a virtual machines that uses Linux. As a result, it's almost completely sandboxed from Windows, and will not interfere with your Python installation (or for that matter, any program) in any way.

As a result, since you're only installing a single program -- a virtual machine -- and loading Sage onto it, installing it is completely safe.

Answer 2

Sage has an online IDE which is easier to use than having to install it. Here is the link: http://www.sagemath.org/
