3 Installing the Databases

Some SAGE functionality, e.g., typing EllipticCurve("37B2") to get the elliptic curve with Cremona label 37B2, depends on databases that are not included in the main SAGE distribution since they take up more space. To install the databases, download and decompress db.tar:
  1. Download db.tar from
    http://modular.fas.harvard.edu/SAGE/dist/db/
    
  2. Place it in your SAGE directory.
  3. Decompress it:
       tar xf db.tar
