How do you import sagemath in Google Colaboratory?

Question

Can I have an example of how to import sagemath in Google Colaboratory? This doesn't work:

!pip install sage
from sage.all import *

Answer 1

Until Google Colaboratory provides SageMath, there are various ways to use SageMath online and/or to collaborate on SageMath worksheets:

• SageCell -- for one-off computations
• CoCalc -- "Collaborative Calculation in the cloud" -- has its own worksheet format (.sagews) and its own implementation of Jupyter notebooks; both allow collaboration and sharing, and support a variety of compute engines besides SageMath
• Binder; see also
  • sage-binder-env: a SageMath-based computing environment for binder -- based on work of the OpenDreamKit Horizon 2020 European Research Infrastructures project (#676541).

Answer 2

Sage isn't just a pip-installable package; there's currently no easy way to use sage directly from Colab.

(Note that the pip install sage command above is installing a completely different package; there's also a sagemath package, but that doesn't include all the components of sage.)
