Maxima -- GPL CAS based on DOE-MACSYMA Files

This version of Maxima is very different from old versions (earlier 
than 5.40.0).  Maxima.app is a standalone binary of Maxima on macOS.  
It includes Maxima, Xmaxima, wxMaxima, and dependencies. The dependencies 
are necessary software to execute Maxima, Xmaxima, and wxMaxima.  
They are Gnuplot, Tcl/Tk, VTK, AquaTerm, SBCL, rlwrap,  wxWidgets, Qt, 
and so on.  They were compiled with MacPorts on macOS 10.9.5.

The Maxima.app is made up of two parts.  
One part is an AppleScript application which launches Maxima.  It wraps 
shell environment variables in AppleScript.
The other part is the software of Maxima which is compiled with MacPorts.
So you don't need any shell environment variables.

"Maxima-5.42.1-VTK-macOS.dmg" is a compressed disc image file which 
includes the Maxima.app.
The Maxima.app includes the following:
  maxima-5.42.1
  sbcl-1.4.12
  wxMaxima-18.10.1 (with wxWidgets-3.1.1)
  gnuplot-5.0.6 (with Aquaterm, wxWidgets, Qt, and XQuartz)
  vtk-6.3.0 (with python)
  aquaterm-1.1.1
  perl-5.24.4
  python-2.7.15
  rlwrap-0.42
  tcl-8.6.8
  tk-8.6.8 (with Quartz)
  wxWidgets-3.0.4
  qt-4.8.7

I expect the Maxima.app will run on macOS 10.9.5 or later.  
But I checked that it ran on macOS 10.9.5 and 10.11.6.

Be careful:
macOS does not allow the Maxima.app to be launched, because it is not 
downloaded from "App Store".
So that before installing the Maxima.app, you have to read the 
"ReadMe.rtf" file included in the compressed disc image of Maxima.

You have to install the Maxima.app into your "Applications" folder.
Because Maxima depends on the directory "/Applications/Maxima.app".


Note: wxMaxima needs jsMath TeX fonts (TeX-fonts-10.zip).
