Thanks for checking @loqy! I'll update the PKGBUILDs to make use of bash correctly.
I'll make sure to mark the difference with wolframengine more explicitly. I guess there's two ways I can do this: provides=('wolframengine') and conflicts=('wolframengine'). I'm thinking it should be the former (provides), as I think that all of the functionality of wolframengine is provided by the main mathematica package. Can someone confirm whether this is true (or if not, why)?
I can confirm that switching the sh calls in PKGBUILD to bash resulted in a successful installation, though I do not have wolframengine installed as algar does.
I did not experience any problems to build the package with the PKGBUILD as given. However I did experience a problem installing:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).
A possibility is to make mathematica and wolfram engine packages incompatible.
If we run MathInstaller with bash, let's also add bash as a makedepends. Lots of people forget to do this
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 Also, I think there are now some outdated comments before prepare().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.
(I posted this previously also to mathematica-light)
@loqy Thanks for the bug report. It is strange that the error is coming from MathInstaller, as that comes from Mathematica's installer. Can anyone else check whether they get this issue? @loqy, can you check whether the same error happens with mathematica-light?
the new pkgbuild fails for me.

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.
There are two installers in the bundle with the offline docs included: one for the base
system and another for the documentation. The current code in PKGBUILD only calls the installer for the base system. A possible way of fixing the failure with the
docs installation is by adding the following in PKGBUILD
msg2 "Running Mathematica documentation installer"
sh "${srcdir}/bundle/Unix/.bundle/Unix/Installer/MathInstaller" \
-targetdir="${pkgdir}/usr/share/Wolfram" \
-auto
Note that the documentation must be installed under /usr/share/Wolfram, otherwise it won't be found by the running Mathematica and it will then default to the on-line docs.

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.
