Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@JP-Ellis, please pull the version bump along with some fixes from:

https://bitbucket.org/qt-max/mathematica/commits/

For 13.2 the only changes in PKGBUILD are

-pkgver=13.1.0
+pkgver=13.2.0
-md5sums=('23e6c72f6b948cefc4f588ec563af488')
+md5sums=('05a0eaaafef2e4478454cb28e0ab4bc8')

@JP-Ellis If you don't have time to maintain this package, I would be happy to take over in your stead. Let me know what you think.

Hi, @JP-Ellis can you update PKGBUILD?

I've been a bit busy these part few weeks, but I am intending to get to this upgrade on the weekend. The split from a single installer to separate program and docs installer is good, though it does mean that the upgrade is less trivial. Thanks @mane.andrew for the patch though!

They decided to change the way the software is shipped: now you have to download the binary and the documentation as separate files and install them separately.

I took the liberty of adding a patch. You can use it as a starting point, I don't think it's perfect, but it works (I built it in a chroot and installed it just now)

RabbitLime: you can define an env variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland;xcb, so you don't have to manually add this in the Exec line of each app.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Qt

Can't launch it in Gnome Wayland. But just add 'QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb', then solve it.

Updated to 13.0.1

This release includes hundreds of bug fixes, feature enhancements and performance improvements, including a security update for log4j.

Thanks for everyone's patience as I was waiting to be able to download the installer from Wolfram.
