23.2. How to Install Mathematica on FreeBSD

Contributed by Rich Murphey <[email protected]> and Chuck Robey <[email protected]>

This document shows how to install the Linux binary distribution of Mathematica 2.2 on FreeBSD 2.1.

Mathematica supports Linux but not FreeBSD as it stands. So once you have configured your system for Linux compatibility you have most of what you need to run Mathematica.

For those who already have the student edition of Mathematica for DOS the cost of upgrading to the Linux version at the time this was written, March 1996, was $45.00. It can be ordered directly from Wolfram at (217) 398-6500 and paid for by credit card.
