Installing Visualization Software on OS XΒΆ
The first thing we need to do is rebuild Python to use OSX’s frameworks, so that it can create graphical windows. To do this first from the terminal do
cd $SAGE_ROOT/local/lib
rm libpng*.dylib
where $SAGE_ROOT
is the directory of your
Sage install. Next from within Sage,
sage: install_package('python-2.5.1-framework')
Next we will build vtk, this will take a while
sage: install_package('vtk-5.0.3.p1')
Finally
sage: install_package('MayaVi-1.5')
sage: install_package('scitools++')
sage: install_package('PyVTK-0.4.74')
