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 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.

@rpfunnyman This is very strange. I actually suspect it is due to a space issue. Is the package being built in /tmp (or similar)? And does it have at least 8GB of free space?

I have installed without receiving any error messages. However, when entering the command "mathematica" or "math" into the command line, nothing happens. Documentation does come up if I type in "man mathematica" or "man math".

All the files in /opt/Mathematica/Executables/ have 0 bytes and do nothing when executed.

I was having a problem where I would install this package and I could run mathematica via command line, but the GUI would immediately crash. I think what initially caused this problem is I initially just tried installing Mathematica via the shell script that was supplied by Wolfram. Then all following installation attempts would either fail or would result in the same problem. I even tried to delete the four main cache locations, but was still getting the same problem.

I ended up fixing the issue by deleting every file or directory on my computer with Wolfram or Mathematica in the title. I used this script:

!/bin/bash

STRING="Wolfram"

INPATH="/"

find $INPATH -name "$STRING" -exec rm -ri {} +

and again replacing w/ STRING="Mathematica" Be careful in that you might have a file that includes these in the title but are unassociated; hence the rm -i.

Then I manually built this AUR package rather than using some package manager like yaourt. Yaourt will try to install in a temporary directory in RAM which is too small for the install. So if you're a total noob, git clone the package somewhere; chown the directory; and copy Wolfram's shell script into that directory. Finally, run makepkg -si and follow the prompts.

@vsilv Please have a look at some of the optional dependencies as some might be required for correct graphical display. (They are not marked as required as some users might only want to use the command-line version of Mathematica).

vsilv commented on 2018-06-05 17:07 (UTC)

Dear JP-Ellis, Even though it was possible to install mathematica using the PKGBUILD, running it for the first time creates a activation screen with flawed buttons; in particular, the activate button does not work. Where could I search for the error? Both building the .pkg.tar and installing worked out without errors. vsilv

@JP-Ellis Ok, so the saga is over ( for now ... :) ). The installation, after installing portaudio, is now fine (the option to install without the documentation turned out to be important for me as well - thanks).

JP-Ellis commented on 2018-05-30 04:34 (UTC)

@WeeTC Thanks for the update. It appears Wolfram released a new version of Mathematica 11.3.0 (though with no release notes). I've updated the checksums and it should build fine now.

WeeTC commented on 2018-05-29 06:25 (UTC)

@JP-Ellis

Unfortunately, I tried this and I got "One or more files did not pass the validity check! " as an error message.

Is the installer up to date?

JP-Ellis commented on 2018-05-29 03:44 (UTC)

@WeeTC You ideally should clone/download a snapshot of the AUR package into a directory, copy (or link) Mathematica in the same directory and then use makepkg to build the full package which can then be installed with pacman -U package_name.tar.xz.

In the case of pacaur, by default it will clone the AUR package into ~/.cache/pacaur so you could copy (or link) Mathematica into ~/.cache/pacaur/mathematica.
