I've also updated the PKGBUILD to strip a number of insecure RPATH and RUNPATH entries that namcap previously flagged. These paths were likely leftover from Wolfram's CI/build environment and weren't actively used by the binaries. While not a major security issue in typical (non-root) usage, removing them could improve safety on multi-user systems. I've also reported the issue to Wolfram Support.
Let me know if you run into any issues after this change!
mathematica and mathematica-light have been updated to 14.1. Mathematica is being rebranded to WolframApp or just Wolfram. Because of that, you might have to update your current configuration according to Upgrading from Mathematica to Wolfram:
$UserBaseDirectory is now ~/.Wolfram (you may need to mv ~/.Mathematica ~/.Wolfram)MATHINIT is now WOLFRAMNB_INIT (for additional arguments to Wolfram)MATHEMATICA_BASE is now WOLFRAM_BASE (for custom $BaseDirectory)MATHEMATICA_USERBASE is now WOLFRAM_USERBASE (for custom $UserBaseDirectory)If for anyone else web documentation is not opening I tracked it down to mathematica setting its own QT_PLUGIN_PATH which then in turn crashes kde-open. I don't know whose bug is it, but for now I just patched xdg-open to unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH.
Patch for v14.1.0 (change discussed in base package): 3d4b2fc029c145ec9603e807efee11071c68616f (updated)
Seems the Mathematica_14.0.0_LINUX.sh not avaliable any more, the PKGBUILD is broken.
I'm leaving a comment because I do this once a year or less, and I remember that before I had to download a file from Wolfram's website. Now, it seems that as long as you're logged in beforehand via your browser, it does everything for you, which is pretty neat!
MathInstaller is a bash script, so it is better to run it directly with bash (my sh was not symlinked to bash, which resulted in 3634 Syntax error: Bad for loop variable). Also, I think there are now some outdated comments before prepare().
Additionally, I include a patch which makes it easier to change the "installation directory" (as of now, it is hardcoded at many places to be /opt/Mathematica).
Patches can be found in this gist.
Edit: whoops, this was meant in general for the mathematica package, somehow I posted it first in here..
The update to v14.0.0 has been uploaded. A list of new features can be found in Wolfram's blog.
If there are any issues with this PKGBUILD, please let me know in a commment below.
@tornado99 You can follow the instructions here
For me the correct name is wolfram-mathematica13

With 13.1, Wolfram now offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:
mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.1.0, the light version takes up around 6.9GiB.
