如何安装校方提供的Mathematica 11？.sh与.sh.part文件安装指引

Hey there! Let's get your university-provided Mathematica 11.1.1 up and running on Linux. First, let's address those two files you have: Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh and Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh.part.

First: Fix the .part File #

That .part extension usually means your download was interrupted mid-process—this file isn't usable on its own. Here's what to do:

• If the main .sh file is fully downloaded (cross-check its file size against what your university provided), you can safely delete the .part file.
• If the .sh file feels incomplete or throws errors later, re-download the full Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh installer from your university's software portal to ensure you have a complete, working file.

Step 1: Grant Execute Permissions #

Open your terminal and navigate to the folder where your installer is saved (use cd /path/to/your/installer/folder to jump to the right directory). Then run this command to make the script executable:

chmod +x Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh

Step 2: Run the Installer #

Next, launch the installation script. You'll likely need administrative privileges, so use sudo unless your user account has full write access to system directories:

sudo ./Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh

• If a graphical installation wizard pops up, great—skip to Step 3.
• If no GUI appears (common on headless servers or minimal desktop environments), run the text-mode installer instead:

  sudo ./Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh --ui-mode text
  

Step 3: Follow the Installation Wizard #

Whether you're using the GUI or text mode, walk through the prompts:

• Installation Directory: The default path is /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/11.1.1/—stick with this unless you have a specific reason to change it.
• Component Selection: The default options include the core program, documentation, examples, and support files. Unless you're short on disk space, keep all components selected.
• Wait for the installation to finish—this might take a few minutes depending on your system speed.

Step 4: Activate Mathematica #

Once installation completes, launch Mathematica from your applications menu or run mathematica in the terminal. You'll see an activation window:

• Use the activation key provided by your university, along with any required organization ID.
• If your university uses a network license server, select "Connect to a Network License Server" and enter the server address provided by your IT department.

Step 5: Verify the Installation #

To make sure everything works correctly, open a new notebook in Mathematica and type:

1 + 1

Press Shift + Enter—you should see 2 as the output. If that works, your installation is successful!

Troubleshooting Tips #

• If you get "permission denied" errors, double-check that you ran the installer with sudo or have the right file permissions.
• If the installer crashes, verify the integrity of your .sh file (your university might provide an MD5/SHA hash to compare against).
• For text-mode activation issues, run math -activate in the terminal to start the activation process directly from the command line.
