Installation
-
First of all: you'll need Maxima, pyMaxima works fine with Maxima version 5.10.0 to 5.28
Note: without Maxima, pyMaxima won't work! -
Python (vers. 2.4 to 2.7) including Tkinter might be useful.
-
On win32 (Win 2000, Win XP), pyMaxima requires the Python for Windows Extensions
-
If you like the 3D-pygeo drawings, you must install VPython and PyGeo (Numerical Python is bundled with VPython)
Note: The installation of PyGeo is limited up to Python 2.7 You have to install the following package, if you are using Python 2.5 to 2.7: -
Unzip pyMaxima.zip in a subdirectory
-
On Linux: fix the entries in the configuration file
linuxInit.conf
in the subdirectory./init
.
Callpython pyMaxima.py
in the shell. -
On win32: fix the entries in the configuration file winInit.conf in the subdirectory
./init
.
Click onpyMaxima.py
and don't close the black window in the back!
