sagemath_fricas: Symbolic computation with the general purpose computer algebra system FriCAS¶

What is included¶

• Python interface to FriCAS

• Raw access to the FriCAS executable from Python using sage.features.fricas

• Binary wheels on PyPI contain prebuilt copies of FriCAS.

Examples¶

Starting FriCAS from the command line:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-fricas[test]" sage --fricas

Finding the installation location of FriCAS in Python:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-fricas[test]" ipython

In [1]: from sage.features.fricas import FriCAS

In [2]: FriCAS().absolute_filename()
Out[2]: '.../bin/fricas'

Using the pexpect interface to FriCAS:

$ pipx run --pip-args="--prefer-binary" --spec "passagemath-fricas[test]" python

>>> from sage.all__sagemath_fricas import *
>>> fricas('1+1')
2

Type¶

optional

Version Information¶

package-version.txt:

10.6.29

version_requirements.txt:

passagemath-fricas ~= 10.6.29.0

Installation commands¶

$ pip install passagemath-fricas~=10.6.29.0

$ sage -i sagemath_fricas

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see upstream Issue #27330 for more information.
