Many people face this error when they try to install Mathematics on Linux :

Error: The installer was unable to check for a valid password file. Your
Mathematica installation may be incomplete or corrupted.

it is because some libraries are missing , just download these :

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

Centos

sudo yum install yum install compat-libstdc++*

Mounting iso/bin/cue

* Method 1: Use CDEmu.

cdemu 0 pro.cue
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdemu/0 /mnt/temp

* Method 2: Convert to ISO.
Convert BIN/CUE to ISO:

bchunk -v acrobat6pro.bin pro.cue pro

File Attachment: bchunk-1.2.0.tar.gz (14 KB)

 

* Just mount the ISO by executing as root.

mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 <filename>.iso <mountpoint>
mount -o loop pro01.iso /mnt/temp

By Antonio Cangiano. Filed under Essential Math, Software

About 50,000 people read my article 3 awesome free Math programs. Chances are that at least some of them downloaded and installed Maxima. If you are one of them but are not acquainted with CAS (Computer Algebra System) software, Maxima may appear very complicated and difficult to use, even for the resolution of simple high school or calculus problems. This doesn’t have to be the case though, Maxima is very friendly and this 10 minute tutorial will get you started right away. Once you’ve got the first steps down, you can always look up the specific function that you need, or learn more from Maxima’s official manual. Alternatively, you can use the question mark followed by a string to obtain in-line documentation (e.g. ? integrate). This tutorial takes a practical approach, where simple examples are given to show you how to compute common tasks. Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. Maxima is so much more than this, but scratching even just the surface should be enough to get you going. In the end you are only investing 10 minutes.
