Installing Maple 13 for Linux at UB

• After downloading the iso file, check to see that the file was copied correctly by using the md5sum command:

  md5sum linuxmaple-130-20090706.iso

The output from md5sum should match this number: 7574d73f299231abf6d2bbc306cbeb6a

• Now you can either ‘burn’ a CD from the iso or mount the file and install directly from the iso file. 
• To mount the downloaded iso file, enter these commands from the terminal window:

  sudo mkdir /tmp/maple13 
  sudo mount –o loop /<path to downloaded file>/linuxmaple-130-20090706.iso /tmp/maple13

• After mounting the CD or iso, open these 2 files:
• SingleUserPurchaseCode.gif
• Install.html
• Follow the instructions in the Install.html for your OS to install Maple13

• Note:  If the maple command window is ‘blank’ and you can’t see what you type then:

Edit the xmaple  file in the maple13/bin directory and insert this line:

export AWT_TOOLKIT = MTOOLKIT

 following the line:

export MAPLE
