For changing a port number. First, open the /usr/local/bin/sagecellscript file:

$ sudo nano /usr/local/bin/sagecellscript

or:

$ su -c "nano /usr/local/bin/sagecellscript"

Second, change the last line from:

../sage/sage web_server.py

to:

../sage/sage web_server.py -p PORT_NUMBER

Where:

• PORT_NUMBER – a port number.

Example:

../sage/sage web_server.py -p 6363

Without the SageMathCell installer

First, install screen:

$ sudo apt-get install screen

or:

$ su -c "apt-get install screen"

Second, create the /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript file:

#! /bin/sh

cd ~/sc_build/sagecell
../sage/sage web_server.py

or:

#! /bin/sh

cd ~/sc_build/sagecell
../sage/sage web_server.py -p PORT_NUMBER

Where:

• PORT_NUMBER – a port number.

Note

The default port number is 8888.

Example:

#! /bin/sh

cd ~/sc_build/sagecell
../sage/sage web_server.py -p 6363

Third, make the /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript file executable:

$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript

or:

$ su -c "chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript"

Fourth, open the /etc/rc.local file:

$ sudo nano /etc/rc.local

or:

$ su -c "nano /etc/rc.local"

Add the next command below the comment, but leave the line exit 0 at the end, then save the file and exit:

sudo -u USERNAME screen -dmS sagecell /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript

or:

su USERNAME -c "screen -dmS sagecell /usr/local/sbin/sagecellscript"

Where:
