# Mathematica

!!! warning
    The available/provided versions of Mathematica only works on RHEL9 and above.

Currently Mathematica cannot be installed via RPM packages, but only manually via the binary installer. The installers can be downloaded from the following URL:

https://repos.psi.ch/binary-installers/mathematica/

The installation can be performed by running the following commands in the terminal:
```bash
curl -L -O https://repos.psi.ch/binary-installers/mathematica/Mathematica_14.0.0_LINUX.sh
chmod +x Mathematica_14.0.0_LINUX.sh
./Mathematica_14.0.0_LINUX.sh
```

Afterwards you will be prompted to select the installation directory. By default, it will be installed in `/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/14.0`, but you can choose a different location. It is recommended to install Mathematica into `/opt/mathematica/<version>`.

```bash

WolframScript allows Wolfram Language code to be run from the command
line and from self-executing script files. It is always available from
/opt/mathematica/14.0/Executables/wolframscript. WolframScript system
integration makes the wolframscript binary accessible from any terminal,
and allows .wls script files to be executed by double-clicking them in the
file manager.

Installation complete.

One the installation is complete you can launch Mathematica by running the `mathematica` command in the terminal or by launching it from the application menu.

## License Activation

Mathematica requires a valid license to run. Therefore you need to configure the license server of PSI. This can be done as follows:

1. Launch Mathematica (Following dialog will appear on the first launch)
