## About

Maxima.jl is a Julia package for performing symbolic computations using Maxima.

Maxima is computer algebra software that provides a free and open source

alternative to proprietary software such as Mathematica, Maple and others.

## Features

 - Contains a full Maxima repl that can be entered from the Julia repl

 - Pretty I/O for Maxima expressions including Latex when using IJulia and formatted '2d' plain text in the repl

 - Basic translation of expressions between Maxima and Julia

 - Wrapper functions for much of the Maxima standard library that operate on Maxima expressions, Julia expressions and strings

 - Plotting via Maxima's gnuplot functionality

## Installation

Maxima.jl can be installed using the Julia package manager. Maxima.jl currently supports version of Julia >= v0.7.0.

```julia

julia> Pkg.add("Maxima")

```

Maxima.jl requires a working Maxima installation. Downloads and installation

instructions can be found [here](http://maxima.sourceforge.net/). If you're

running a Linux operating system take a look in your local repositories.

> **Note**: The Maxima package in most Debian based distributions is compiled against `gcl` and does not have unicode support. Unicode support is required by Maxima.jl. The solution is to compile Maxima yourself using a lisp that supports unicode (`sbcl` and `clisp` both work)

On Windows you will also need to add the directory containing the `maxima.bat` executable to your `PATH` environment variable so that Julia can find it.
