In Ubuntu 20.04, when I type:

sudo apt-get install sagemath sagemath-jupyter sagemath-doc-en

I get:

Package sagemath is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

E: Package 'sagemath' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package sagemath-jupyter
E: Unable to locate package sagemath-doc-en''

It appears the PPA is no longer maintained. Am I forced to go through the hassle of getting the binary and then all its dependencies or am I missing something obvious? I feel dumb.

After adding the universe repository and trying to install again I get:

E: Package 'sagemath' has no installation candidate

Rather than installing from the Ubuntu repositories, you may find it easier to go to https://www.sagemath.org/download.html and download the current version directly. Installation is simple. I'd suggest extracting the files to a directory ~/Sage, cd ~/Sage/SageMath and then execute ./sage

In a few minutes everything is set up. Currently there are binaries for version 9.2, but 9.3 should show up fairly soon.

  • I do not see sagemath for Ubuntu 20.04 in the link you provided. Only for Ubuntu 18. – Nasser Apr 03 '22 at 15:26
  • Just checked at https://mirror.rcg.sfu.ca/mirror/sage/linux/64bit/index.html. I see a 9.4 binary for Ubuntu 20.04 posted 2021-08-31. – Richard Quint Apr 04 '22 at 16:18
