mathematica and mathematica-light have 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:

  • 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.

@johnramsden did you run out of disk space by chance?

JP-Ellis commented on 2017-09-19 03:27 (UTC)

@johnramsden Mathematica's installation error log should have just errors to do with xdg (`xdg-icon-resource`, `xdg-desktop-menu`, etc.) and these are expected. I do not know what is causing the errors from `tar` though. Did the `Mathematica_11.2.0_LINUX.sh` pass the checksums?

I keep getting the following error on install. I had 11.1.x installed before and didn't get this error: Installation failed.

@alge Mathematica is a paid, proprietary software and must be downloaded separately.

Trying to get mathematica thru AUR. Getting this error: ==> Making package: mathematica 11.1.1-1 (sat sep 2 12:31:24 CEST 2017) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: Mathematica_11.1.1_LINUX.sh was not found in the build directory and is not a URL

@bred These errors are (unfortunately) normal. The Mathematica install script tries to install certain desktop files (icons, .desktop) to the system which it shouldn't, and since makepkg isn't run with sudo access, the script (correctly) fails to install them. The PKGBUILD handles these files fine afterwards. As far as I know, there is no way to avoid this. As long as the errors are only relating to xdg-..., then everything's fine.

My apologies everyone. As @jon correctly pointed out, I accidentally committed the `exit 1` in the PKGBUILD which I use to debug the build process and make sure that everything looks good. I have pushed the new PKGBUILD up and it should work now (since this is such a minor issue, I have not bumped the release, but next time yaourt/pacaur is run it should use the new PKGBUILD).
