Hi! A free version of the Wolfram Engine for developers has been released (https://www.wolfram.com/engine/). Just wondering, would it be possible to adapt this PKGBUILD for it?

@JP-Ellis
Yes, I didn't notice that I was out of space, thank you.
JP-Ellis commented on 2019-04-29 23:43 (UTC)
@RunAndTumble did you make sure there was enough disk space available? It seems like Mathematica did not complete installing all the components. Do you have any other error messages arising before this?
RunAndTumble commented on 2019-04-29 14:46 (UTC)
This is odd, now, with the latest script I get this:
-> Errors related to 'xdg-icon-resource' and 'xdg-desktop-menu' are to be expected during Mathematica's installation. -> Fixing symbolic links /run/media/user/misc/inst/mathematica/mathematica/PKGBUILD: line 123: cd: /run/media/user/misc/inst/mathematica/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/Executables: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

@JP-Ellis thanks for the quick answer. If someone is wondering where to find the script, I found mine on my Wolfram User Portal.

@Icemole Unfortunately, there are (afaik) no publicly available download links for Mathematica. As a result, you must download Mathematica_12.0.0_LINUX.sh manually and place it in the same directory as the PKGBUILD.
Icemole commented on 2019-04-29 08:52 (UTC)
Hey, when executing makepkg I'm getting "ERROR: Mathematica_12.0.0_LINUX.sh was not found in the compilation directory, and it is not an URL address". It's right after sources are received. What I did was just downloading the snapshot and executing makepkg. Any ideas as to what's happening?
JP-Ellis commented on 2019-04-29 01:00 (UTC)
@rvlobato In my experience, Mathematica doesn't support HiDPI screens all that well, especially in pop-up windows. I have not found any workaround myself other than manually resizing the window.

mathematicaandmathematica-lighthave 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:$UserBaseDirectoryis now~/.Wolfram(you may need tomv ~/.Mathematica ~/.Wolfram)MATHINITis nowWOLFRAMNB_INIT(for additional arguments to Wolfram)MATHEMATICA_BASEis nowWOLFRAM_BASE(for custom$BaseDirectory)MATHEMATICA_USERBASEis nowWOLFRAM_USERBASE(for custom$UserBaseDirectory)JP-Ellis commented on 2022-10-08 00:22 (UTC) (edited on 2023-08-19 12:56 (UTC) by JP-Ellis)
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.
