WolframScript problem

Nico van der Dussen
Posted 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying out Wolfram Language on my Raspberry Pi.

I did upgrade to 10.0

Using the examples on http://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/WolframLanguageScripts.html I created the following script:

#!/usr/local/bin/WolframScript -script

Integrate[Sin[x],x]

I did chmod 755 * to the directory where the script was saved as example1.m

When running the script from the commandline with ./example1.m I get this error message:

bash: ./example1.m: /usr/local/bin/WolframScript: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Please assist what I'm doing wrong :)

Thanks Nico

Sort By:

/usr/local/bin/WolframScript: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

That means that the shell (bash) does not find the file /usr/local/bin/WolframScript or that the shell is not allowed to execute it.

What do you see if you type 

$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/WolframScript

at the prompt? Did you install WolframScript?

Hi,

I did the ls as requested - there is no such file.

I use the previous Raspbian, and did the upgrade with sudo apt-get update/upgrade around 2 weeks ago to upgrade to Wolfram/Mathematica 10.

I tried sudo apt-get install WolframScript - no such package was found.

Thanks Nico

I don't have a Raspberry Pi, but they recommend to do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine

it should somehow go with the so called wolfram-engine. Without installing something WolframLanguageScripts nothing will happen, WolframScript, you can also do at the prompt

$ find  / -type f -name "*olfram*cript" -print 2>/dev/null

to find it on your machine with the bash, if it is already installed.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated!

I did the following:

I upgraded to the latest version of Raspian. This includes Wolfram/Mathematica 10 by default.

The WolframScript command is still not present - tested all the proposed ways. Including the find command in the last post.

It seems WolframScript hasn't been included (yet) in the Raspberry Pi release, however one may still run scripts on the command line using

$ wolfram -script myscript.wl

True, this guy Kofler Raspberry Pi says the same thing ...
