Linux Package ManagersΒΆ

SageMath is available from various distributions and can be installed by package managers.

As of Sage 10.2, we can recommend the following distributions, which provide well-maintained and up-to-date SageMath packages: Arch Linux and Void Linux.

Gentoo users might want to give a try to sage-on-gentoo.

Do not install a version of Sage older than 9.5. If you are on an older version of your distribution and a recent version of SageMath is only available on a newer version of the distribution, consider upgrading your distribution.

See the _sagemath dummy package for the names of packages that provide a standard installation of SageMath, including documentation and Jupyter. See also repology.org: sagemath for information about versions of SageMath packages in various distributions.

The GitHub wiki page Distribution collects information regarding packaging and distribution of SageMath.
