1The following external tools are needed to build and/or use Maxima: 2 31) A supported Lisp implementation. See README.lisps. 4 52) To build Maxima in the standard manner, Bourne shell and make are 6 required. See INSTALL. 7 83) Maxima can also be built using nothing except Lisp. See 9 INSTALL.lisp. 10 114) Plotting uses gnuplot, <http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net>, by 12 default. Plotting can also be done with Maxima's xmaxima 13 application. 14 155) xmaxima requires Tcl/Tk, preferably version 8.5 or later. 16 xmaxima is both one possible interface to Maxima and a plotting 17 program. As a graphical interface it is not required but as a 18 plotting program it is required by some commands (plotdf, ploteq 19 and scene). 20 216) drawdf requires Vtk and its bindings for Tcl/Tk. 22 237) The scene command requires python-vtk 24 258) Building Maxima from GIT additionally requires the GNU autotools. 26
