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.

Wolfram 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 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.

@JP-Ellis, yep, disk space was the issue. Man, this is such bloated software.

JP-Ellis commented on 2018-10-22 23:36 (UTC)

@lol-md5 it appears you have an issue with running out of space. Do you have about 10GiB of free space? Can you try building to package using makepkg?

I'm having trouble installing this.


Installation failed. See
~/.cache/aurman/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors.

  -> Errors related to 'xdg-icon-resource' and 'xdg-desktop-menu' are to be expected during Mathematica's installation.

~/.cache/aurman/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors is empty.

What should I do? I need this for school.

@ucb Your best bet with Mathematica is to download the snapshot of the PKGBUILD in some directory and have the installer in the same directory, and then building everything using makepkg. I'm not familiar with pakku, but most likely what is happening is that pakku is downloading the PKGBUILD into some other directory (something like ~/.cache/pakku/mathematica or $TMPDIR/pakku/mathematica) and then running makepkg in there (which doesn't have the .sh installer and thus makepkg fails).

ucb commented on 2018-10-08 01:59 (UTC)

Newbie here:

Can somebody tell me what is the 'startdir' of the installer? I executed the installer using pakku from my download dir where the .sh resides but the installer couldn't find it. I also tried to edit the source line to point to the download dir so far to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

@shuye02 Portaudio is already an optional dependency. The reason it is optional is that it is not needed when Mathematica is used within the terminal only.

@RunAndTumble Indeed Mathematica is quite a big package. I already make attempts to reduce its size by removing duplicate system libraries or unnecessary binaries. Also please have a look at the end of the PKGBUILD as I include an option to remove all documentation. It is commented out as most people will actually want the documentation; however, you are free to uncomment that and save a large amount of space.

Hey Folks

What do you think about further compression of the package? Now it's about 10GB, however, people here ( https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/6193/which-mathematica-files-may-be-deleted-to-save-space ) suggest additional ways to save some space.

/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica: error while loading shared libraries: libportaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is fixed by installing portaudio, can the maintainer add portaudio to the dependencies list?

@JP-Ellis Building on the HD seemed to do the trick! I was previously building in /tmp, which (supposedly) had 16 GB free. Everything works brilliantly now, thank you.
