Running install_scripts(directory) creates scripts in the given directory that run various software components included with Sage. Each of these scripts essentially just runs sage --CMD where CMD is also the name of the script:
This command:
INPUT:
OUTPUT: Verbosely prints what it is doing and creates files in directory that are world executable and readable.
Note
You may need to run sage as root in order to run install_scripts successfully, since the user running sage needs write permissions on directory. Note that one good candidate for directory is '/usr/local/bin', so from the shell prompt, you could run
sudo sage -c "install_scripts('/usr/local/bin')"
Note
Running install_scripts(directory) will be most helpful if directory is in your path.
