Install from conda-forge

SageMath can be installed on Linux and macOS via Conda from the conda-forge conda channel.

Both the x86_64 (Intel) architecture and the arm64/aarch64 architectures (including Apple Silicon, M1, M2, M3, M4) are supported.

You will need a working Conda installation: either Miniforge, Miniconda or Anaconda. If you don’t have one yet, we recommend installing Miniforge as follows. In a terminal,

$ curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
$ bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

  • Miniforge uses conda-forge as the default channel. However, if you are using Miniconda or Anaconda, set it up to use conda-forge:

    • Add the conda-forge channel: conda config --add channels conda-forge

    • Change channel priority to strict: conda config --set channel_priority strict

If you installed Miniforge (or Mambaforge), we recommend to use mamba in the following, which uses a faster dependency solver than conda.

Installing all of SageMath from conda (not for development)

Create a new conda environment containing SageMath, either with mamba or conda:

$ mamba create -n sage sage

$ conda create -n sage sage

To use Sage from there,

  • Enter the new environment: conda activate sage

  • Start SageMath: sage

If there are any installation failures, please report them to the conda-forge maintainers by opening a GitHub Issue for conda-forge/sage-feedstock.
