Module: sage.misc.dist

Module-level Functions

install_scripts( [bin_directory=None])

Run this command as install_scripts(bin_directory) to create scripts in the given bin directory that, independently of SAGE, run various software components included with SAGE, e.g., Singular, GAP, etc.

This command:

INPUT:
    bin_directory -- string; the directory into which to
                     put the scripts
                     
OUTPUT:
    Verbosely prints what it is doing and creates files
    in bin_directory that are world executable and readable.

NOTE: You may need to run SAGE as root in order to run install_scripts successfully, since the user running SAGE will need write permissions on bin_directory.
