SAGE for Mac

What's new in this version:

- This is a binary release of SageMath-10.3 for macOS 10.12 and newer. It is packaged as a signed and notarized macOS application. There are two disk images in the assets, one for Intel CPUs and one for Apple's Arm CPUs (e.g. M1, M1X or M2) . Please download the correct one for your system. (If you are not sure, check the "processor" line in the "About This Mac" dialog under the Apple menu.)
- This version behaves differently from previous ones. It still opens a small window which allows starting a SageMath session either in a command line or a jupyter or jupyterlab notebook. The difference is that the app continues to run until explicitly stopped by selecting Quit from the file menu or typing Command-Q, as with most macOS apps. The app will start a jupyter server process to run notebooks and reconnect to that server for new sessions. When the app quits it will terminate the jupyter server process if it is still running.
- To install, download one of the disk images in the assets below, open it, and drag the SageMath icon to the Applications folder as indicated. Then double-click the recommended pkg file to install some helpful extras. Specifically, the Installer package creates an executable named /usr/local/bin/sage which can be used to run sage from a script or shell and a Jupyter kernel specification in /usr/local/share. It also copies the sagetex.sty file into a subdirectory of /usr/local/texlive where it will be found by the TeXLive latex compiler. The kernel specification should be recognized by other apps that launch Jupyter or JupyterLab.
- The magic command %pip can be used at the sage prompt to install additional packages via pip. These packages will be installed in the user's ~/.sage directory. The -i option is not supported by the sage executable in this app, but many optional Sage packages are included. Note that GAP packages which are not included in the gap_packages spkg can be installed from within sage by using the PackageManager GAP package. These will be installed in the directory ~/Library/Preferences/GAP.
