[OS X TeX] sagetex use from TeXShop

[Murray Eisenberg]

At least with the current version (9.1) of Sage, the sagetex.sty file is in 

	/Applications/SageMath.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex

and so the instruction in your SageTest.pdf for creating the link to it should be:

	sudo ln -s /Applications/SageMath.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex.sty .

(The path you showed omitted the bottom-most directory sagetex.)

When I start up SageMath.app (yes, I renamed it) it opens a couple of web pages; is that what it's supposed to do?

If you run a Terminal Session from within the app the first time you will also be asked it it can use Apple Events and control Terminal.
