Add files to Mathematica?

Carl Adkins, Retired
Posted 5 years ago

Not sure if I'm in the right group to pose this question, but here goes. I recently found a software program that teaches Analytic Geometry via Mathematica, called Descarta2D. One of the installation instructions says, "Copy the Descarta2D folder into the following standard Mathematica folder (used for add-on applications): $BaseDirectory/Applications." How do I accomplish this? I have learned Windows 10 doesn't have such a file.

Yes, I found that link also, but alas the website from Descarta2D is out of the air. It's a bit outdated software of course , but I would like try it. The major developer was Denis Monasse, a French mathematician.

I am also retired : bicycling, gardening are my daily activities. Evenings are filled with some studying in Mathematics.

Thank you for your answer. Chiel Geeraert

Dear Chiel Geeraert: I just tried the URL above, and it appears to be inoperative. I did find this item through a search: http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2010/Nov/msg00437.html. It appears to have info on Descarta@D.

Thanks, Hans. I will try this. I really appreciate your help.

Carl:

Run the following command in a Mathematica Session $BaseDirectory

The output should be the file path for your Mathematica install and OS.

See https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/$BaseDirectory.html
