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.
