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.
what is "startdir"?
now wolfram provides the download page for mathematica, no login required.
Turn out that (one of the) bundle installers should be given the same command line arguments as the entry installer, see L3804 of bundle/Unix/Installer/MathInstaller inside function installBundledInstall. Though it should be a bug of mathematica installer, we can temporarily just patch it with arguments needed.
@JP-Ellis Thanks! Moved to online-doc version.
@leo980 Thanks for the bug report. I tested the mathematica-light package, and (perhaps incorrectly) assumed that the full package would work similarly but did not test it. I would recommend you switch to using mathematica-light until I find a workaround with this package's installation.
Installation of documentation failed with 13.3.1-1
Seems we need to somehow prepend $pkgdir prefix to /usr/share/Wolfram/Documentation/13.3/en-us...
But MathInstaller does not provide a argument for it ...

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.
