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.

Thanks JP-Ellis. I updated to 11.0.1. Unfortunately, the following error still occurs: Installation failed. See .../pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors. If InstallErrors is full of xdg-icon-resource, mkdir, and xdg-desktop-menu messages, then everything is fine. This is a known issue in the Mathematica installer [CASE:3493135].

I get this msg when install script is running: Installation failed. See ~/AUR/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors. This file contains this warnings: xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found. 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. This happens in Gnome 3, I suspect it may have to do with DE integration (icons of .nb files in nautilus, etc). This have been commented by @qft already. Maybe PKGBUILD could it be upgraded to improve that. Thank you so much.

PKGBUILD for 11.0.1: https://gist.github.com/JP-Ellis/1e9637386bb1f2520e107a71058d79e4

@Light2Yellow Mathematica isn't free. You need to purchase it, and then download Mathematica_11.0.0_LINUX.sh from their website and put it in the build directory.

==> ERROR: Mathematica_11.0.0_LINUX.sh was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build mathematica.

@qft Yes, I know. I think that happens to everyone. The Mathematica installer is ignoring the fact that it's not being installed by root. Wolfram needs to fix this. But in the meantime, the package still works just fine.

qft commented on 2016-08-20 00:01 (UTC)

When I run makepkg with this PKGBUILD, I always see the following error message: Installation failed. See /home/qft/build/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors. And the file /opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors is not removed from the final package.

The installation is fine, the package made by makepkg should work. This is just a bug in the Mathematica installer. I'll bug Wolfram about it again. Edit: I have an open case [CASE:3493135] with Wolfram support regarding the issue. It was actually fixed in 10.4.0, but came back again in 10.4.1.

qft commented on 2016-08-19 03:26 (UTC)

Latest Mathematica 11 fails to install with the following error: 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. The installation script bypasses fakeroot and tries to write to the root directory directly...

kjslag commented on 2016-07-25 19:12 (UTC)

I see. I added mesa-demos.
