# sage(1)

Open Source Mathematical Software

## NAME

sage - Open Source Mathematical Software

## DESCRIPTION

SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers.

### Optional arguments:

file.\[sage\|py\|spyx\] **--** run given .sage, .py or .spyx file

**-advanced**           **--** list all command line options

**-c** \<cmd\>            **--** Evaluates cmd as sage code

**-gap** \[...\]          **--** run Sage's Gap with given arguments

**-gp** \[...\]           **--** run Sage's PARI/GP calculator with given arguments

**-h**, -?              **--** print this help message

**-inotebook** \[...\]    **--** start the \*insecure\* Sage notebook (deprecated)

**-maxima** \[...\]       **--** run Sage's Maxima with given arguments

**-mwrank** \[...\]       **--** run Sage's mwrank with given arguments

**--notebook**=*\[*...\]    **--** start the Sage notebook (valid options are 'default', 'sagenb', 'jupyter', and 'export')

**-n**, **--notebook**      **--** shortcut for **--notebook**=*default*

**-python** \[...\]       **--** run the Python interpreter

**-R** \[...\]            **--** run Sage's R with given arguments

**-singular** \[...\]     **--** run Sage's singular with given arguments

**-sqlite3** \[...\]      **--** run Sage's sqlite3 with given arguments

**-root**               **--** print the Sage root directory

- **--nodotsage** **--** run Sage without using the user's .sage directory:

  create and use a temporary .sage directory instead

- **-t** \[options\] \<--all\|files\|dir\>

  **--** test examples in .py, .pyx, .sage, .tex or .rst files

- selected options:

  **--long** - include lines with the phrase 'long time' **--verbose** - print debugging output during the test **--sagenb** - test all sagenb files **--help** - show all testing options

- **-v**, **-version** **--** display Sage version information

  usage: sage \[options\] Try 'sage **-h**' for more information.
