Sage: Command Line Arguments
There are several flags you can pass to Sage via the command line:
- -h, -? Prints a help message.
- -notebook Starts the Sage notebook running in default mode.
This does not open a browser; it just starts a Sage Notebook server
running on http://localhost:8000 (or a subsequent port if that port
is not available). Pressing {Control-c} stops the server.
- -i [packages] Installs the given Sage packages. If a package
is listed at
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/packages/optional/ and not
available in your current directory, then Sage will try to download
the package and install it.
- -optional Lists all optional packages that can be
downloaded.
- -t <files|dir> Tests examples in .py, .pyx, .sage or .tex
files.
- -testall Tests all examples in Sage.
- -upgrade Downloads the latest non-optional Sage packages
from http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/packages/standard/,
then builds and installs them. In many cases this requires that
your computer has the necessary software development tools (listed
in the installation documentation). Optional packages have to
upgraded manually using sage -i. (There are no
binary packages yet.)
- file1.sage file2.sage file.py ... Starts Sage, compiles any
.sage files to .py files, and runs files.
- -advanced Displays additional options that can be passed to
Sage.
