When installing Mathematica on a Linux system from a Wolfram-provided USB stick, you first need to mount the USB drive, then the installer’s ISO image file.
- Quit any previous installation of Wolfram products running on your machine.
- Insert the USB stick. On most Linux platforms, the operating system will automatically mount the USB drive.
- Otherwise, you can mount the USB drive manually. On the command line, execute
lsblk - Identify the location of the USB drive.
- Mount the USB drive. For example, if it is located at /dev/sdb1, run:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/<username>where <username> is your username on the computer. Provide your superuser credentials as requested.
- Otherwise, you can mount the USB drive manually. On the command line, execute
- Mount the ISO image by executing, line by line:
sudo mkdir /mnt/iso sudo mount /media/<username>/Wolfram/installer.iso /mnt/iso - Once the ISO image is successfully mounted, continue installing Mathematica.
- After installing Mathematica, unmount the ISO image and the USB drive by executing:
sudo umount /mnt/iso sudo umount /media/<username>
