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.

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).

@JP-Ellis The last commit added "exit 1" after running the Mathematica installer: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=mathematica#n116

@JP-Ellis I don't get any errors other than what I mentioned. I do get this warning: WARNING: Avahi Daemon is not active on your system so some Kernel Discovery features will not be available. Try activating the avahi-daemon service by running (as root): systemctl enable avahi-daemon But that doesn't seem likely to be the source of the issue, and I got that warning last time that I successfully installed Mathematica. As far as I know, makepkg isn't using /tmp or a tmpfs file system for anything. I'm not sure how I would check to make sure.

JP-Ellis commented on 2017-04-27 14:42 (UTC)

@wkunkel The installer tries to access certain system directories to write icons, but fails as it does not have sudo access so it is normal to have the following errors: xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. mkdir: cannot create directory '/applications-merged': Permission denied xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found. Despite this, the installer finishes fine and the icons are then handled by the PKGBUILD. Are there any other errors being reported? In particular, have you made sure that makepkg isn't extracting everything in a tmpfs directory such as /tmp?

I can no longer make this package on my machine.

@wangjiezhe Thanks for noticing that! I'm not sure how that changed as I thought I created the list using `find` :/ (I think it might've been due to some 'smart' search/replace that adjusts the capitalization...) I'll fix that now. I'll push the changes, but I won't make a new release as I don't want to force everyone to re-download Mathematica and re-install everything since this only cleans up a few files. You can always manually re-install Mathematica though. @kjslag If I add them again, it'll be as optional dependencies. It is possible to use Mathematica's command line interface only in which case those libraries aren't necessary.

FYI, libxcursor was included as a dependency due to an old comment by gamezelda. I never personally checked if it was necessary, but that's why it was there. I have no idea if it's still necessary. Thanks for taking over JP-Ellis! gamezelda commented on 2016-01-06 16:32 ... BTW, I also had to install libxcursor, alsa-lib and libxml2 in order to get the application running (using a very minimalistic setup with X.org+TWM), so you may want to consider adding those to the dependencies on a future release.

wangjiezhe commented on 2017-03-31 15:35 (UTC)

Removed files should be in "/opt/Mathematica", not "/opt/mathematica".
