Introduction
This is a guide for installing the latest version of Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ . Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and arbitrarily precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions.
First Section
So first this variable: "latest-version" is the latest version of Maxima (as of 3-20-007 it is 5.11.0)
In a web browser
download the package maxima-"latest-version".tar.gz by going to here, [WWW] http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=4933
and clicking on maxima-"latest-version".tar.gz
In a terminal 2.
{{{tar xfvz /"locationof"/maxima-"latest-version".tar.gz sudo apt-get build-dep maxima sudo dpkg-reconfigure gcl}}}
select "yes" and enable ansi which is disabled by default.
cd maxima-"latest-version"/ ./configure --prefix=/usr/share --exec-prefix=/usr make sudo checkinstall
say "yes" to create a document package and paste the description of Maxima off of the website:
