The cadabra Portfile 56202 2009-08-25 06:54:34Z gwright macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: cadabra
Version: 1.16
Category: math
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: gwright
Description: A field theory approach to symbolic computer algebra
Long Description: Cadabra is a computer algebra system for the manipulation of what could loosely be called tensorial expressions. It is aimed at, though not necessarily restricted to, theoretical high energy physicists. Because of its target audience, the program's interface, storage system and underlying philosophy differ substantially from other computer algebra systems.

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching cadabra
--->  Verifying checksum for cadabra
--->  Extracting cadabra
--->  Configuring cadabra
--->  Building cadabra with target all

--->  Staging cadabra into destroot

--->  Installing cadabra

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using cadabra with these commands:

%  man cadabra
%  apropos cadabra
