Maxima 5.50.0 Windows Installer

These installers contains Maxima and the required/optional components SBCL, Clisp, CCL64, TCL/TK, wxWidgets, wxMaxima, Gnuplot and VTK.

Three different Lisp compilers (SBCL, Clisp and CCL64) are supported.

You can find the changes since the previous release at: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/code/ci/master/tree/changelogs/ChangeLog-5.50.md

Maybe Windows will warn you, that the installer is not signed - my code signing certificate is expired.

The frontends wxMaxima and Xmaxima communicate with the backend (command line Maxima) using a local network connection, so maybe the Windows firewall will ask you, that you allow that communication.

If you want to do an unattended installation (e.g. if you plan to install Maxima on many computers in a school, university or company), this installer (and uninstaller) understands the command line switch "/S" (for 'silent install').

If you want something like a portable version of Maxima, you can extract the installer executable with the program 7-zip in a directory on your file system or a USB-Stick...

More information about the installer, how it was build and what options it provides can be found at: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/code/ci/master/tree/crosscompile-windows/README.txt

Remark: The bundled software (wxMaxima, etc.) is also included in that version, which was current, when Maxima 5.50.0 was released.

You can use newer versions, e.g. of wxMaxima from: https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/releases

You just have to configure the location of Maxima in wxMaxima (using Edit->Configure->Maxima) if it is not found automatically.
