Best way to get Sage (I already have python)

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18865214

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

Was it helpful?

Solution

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.

OTHER TIPS

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