How to install sage from repository?
8,065
The Sage PPA currently only publishes a binary package for 64-bit systems:
$ grep '^Package' /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_aims*_Packages
/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_aims_sagemath_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages:Package: sagemath-upstream-binary
/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_aims_sagemath_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages:Package: sagemath-optional
/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_aims_sagemath_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-i386_Packages:Package: sagemath-optional
The PPA page for that package lists only amd64
in the Builds section.
Even in a VM, there's no reason not to use 64-bit. So install 64-bit Ubuntu.

Instructions from here did not work.
Instructions:
apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath apt-get update apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary
After last command I get:
$ sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sagemath-upstream-binary is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'sagemath-upstream-binary' has no installation candidate
How to overcome?
UPDATE
Check command
$ sudo grep sage /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -R /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-trusty.list.save:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu trusty main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-trusty.list.save:# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu trusty main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-trusty.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu trusty main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-trusty.list:# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu trusty main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-trusty.list:# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu trusty main

muru over 9 yearsAre you on 64-bit or 32-bit?

Suzan Cioc over 9 years32 bit and virtual

kcrisman about 7 yearsAlthough you wanted to do this from the package, keep in mind you could also install from source - it's really not too bad.

Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 almost 9 yearsSo you cannot do
apt-add-repository
here, since I get also the errorError reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~aims/+archive/sagemath: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:600)
. So the default way to install Sage is to download the 800MB file and just install. They have removed the non-Debian package from apt-get. -
muru almost 9 years@Masi are you behind a firewall or proxy or something? What do you mean, non-Debian package? A PPA only provides Debian packages.

Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 almost 9 yearsNo proxy and no firewall, just default Debian 8.1 which should be compatible with 14.04. Can you give a clear preview how you add the package in Sage. I got the error which I don not understand.
