Installation

• First of all: you'll need Maxima, pyMaxima works fine with Maxima version 5.10.0 to 5.28
  Note: without Maxima, pyMaxima won't work!

• Python (vers. 2.4 to 2.7) including Tkinter might be useful.

• On win32 (Win 2000, Win XP), pyMaxima requires the Python for Windows Extensions

• If you like the 3D-pygeo drawings, you must install VPython and PyGeo (Numerical Python is bundled with VPython)
  Note: PyGeo does not work with VPython 6. You have to use the older version VPython 5.
  Note: The installation of PyGeo is limited up to Python 2.7
  You have to install the following package, if you are using Python 2.5 to 2.7:

  • pyGeo.zip

• Unzip pyMaxima.zip in a subdirectory

• On Linux: fix the entries in the configuration file linuxInit.conf in the subdirectory ./init.
  Call python pyMaxima.py in the shell.

• On win32: fix the entries in the configuration file winInit.conf in the subdirectory ./init.
  Click on pyMaxima.py and don't close the black window in the back!
