PortSystem 1.0
Name: maxima
Version: 5.14.0
revision 1
Category: math
Maintainers: nomaintainer
Platform: darwin
Description: The Maxima computer algebra system
Long Description: The Maxima computer algebra system is a descendant of DOE Macsyma, a version of MIT's Macsyma whose development was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. Through the effort of the late William Shelter of the University of Texas, it was released under the GNU General Public License. It is one of the more comprehensive and powerful computer algebra systems available as open source.

#bugs The graphical interfaces (xmaxima and the maxima # session mode of TeXmacs) are still quite immature and # prone to hang. # # The not all of the printable documentation can be built # from the top level makefile yet. The printable_doc # variant builds the reference manual in dvi format and # forces its installation into # ${prefix}/share/maxima//doc/dvi.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/maxima
%  sudo port install maxima  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching maxima
--->  Verifying checksum for maxima
--->  Extracting maxima
--->  Configuring maxima
--->  Building maxima with target all

--->  Staging maxima into destroot

--->  Installing maxima

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using maxima with these commands:

%  man maxima
%  apropos maxima
%  which maxima
%  locate maxima
