mathematica and mathematica-light have been updated to 14.1. Matematica 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:

  • The default $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)

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.

Removing libcrypto.so.1.0.0 breaks Encrypt and Decrypt. The examples in the documentation don't work when libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is removed. Please remove the libcrypto line from duplicate-libs.txt. Maybe removing so many libraries is dangerous? What's the motivation for removing so many?

@lol-md5 portaudio is already an optional dependency.

@JP-Ellis, would you mind adding portaudio to the optional deps?

lol-md5 commented on 2018-10-23 22:04 (UTC)

@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.

(actual home directory replaced with ~)

~/.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.
