If you do not have an internet connection, or automatic activation does not work for any reason, you can activate the Wolfram System manually. • Start Mathematica. The activation window appears. • Select the “Other ways to activate” button in the Wolfram Product Activation dialog. • Select the Manual Activation option. A dialog appears showing the MathID of the machine onto which you are installing Mathematica.

This dialog asks for the activation key and password. You can find your activation key and generate your password in your account. • Log in to the. Select the My Products and Services tab, then click the name of the product you want to activate.

Copy and paste this activation key into the Product Activation dialog. • To generate the password, go to the in the User Portal and enter your activation key and your MathID into the password generator form.

Click the Generate Password button to generate your password. • Copy and paste the activation key you selected from the User Portal and the password from the password generator into the corresponding fields of the Product Activation dialog. • Click Activate. If you are unable to manually activate Mathematica, Wolfram Support with your activation key, MathID and the password generated in step 5.

Mathematica 6 Mounting iso One way to mount the Mathematica.iso is to create a /media/iso mount directory and add the following line to the: / location/of/mathematica.iso /media/iso iso9660 exec,ro,user,noauto,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0 Now you can mount it with: # mount /media/iso Running the Installer You can start the installer by navigating to: /Unix/Installer Run MathInstaller with: sh./MathInstaller. Note: If you do not place the 'sh' in front, then you will get an error about a bad interpreter. Fonts Add the directories containing Type1 and BDF fonts to your FontPath.

Mathematica 7 Mathematica 7 is much easier to install. Tar xf Mathematica-7.0.1.tar.gz cd Unix/Installer./MathInstaller Follow instructions. For KDE users, the Mathematica icon may appear in the Lost & Found category. To solve this, execute the following as root: # ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications-merged Mathematica 8 An issue with Mathematica 8 is a reproducible crash when performing WolframAlpha[] functions. By default, Mathematica is configured to detect the system's proxy settings when configuring how to connect to the internet to fetch data. A 'bug' exists that will eventually crash Mathematica when the calling library is used. A workaround is to avoid this library call altogether by configuring Mathematica to 'directly connect' to the internet.

( Edit > Preferences > Internet Connectivity > Proxy Settings). This bug has been reported to Wolfram. Mathematica 10 AUR (need historical version).

The Mathematica_10.XX.YY_LINUX.sh installation script is required; you will need to download this separately from Wolfram.com, your university, etc. You will also need an activation key. Mathematica 11 AUR. Obtain Mathematica_11.XX.YY_LINUX.sh from Wolfram Research, along with an activation key, and save it to the package build directory. Successful install may throw non-critical errors: xdg-icon-resource, mkdir, xdg-desktop-menu.

For more details see the. Mathematica 11 automatically creates a document folder 'Wolfram Mathematica' in, which is set by Mathematica according to. Troubleshooting Missing symbols If you have font rendering problems where certain symbols do not show up (i.e. / appears as a square), try uninstalling.
