Installing Mathematica for the first time
- Login to the Wolfram User Portal using your UCInetID@uci.edu email address. You can create an account for free if you don't already have one.
- Specify your Department from the pulldown menu. If yours isn't listed, choose Other and enter it in the field.
- The Product pulldown menu will default to the correct version: Mathematica for Sites (Single Machine). You can ignore the other option in the menu.
- The Version pulldown menu will default to the current version, but you can choose to download an older supported version. Select Submit when you're ready.
- Follow the steps on the next page to begin the download. The software will come with a key allowing its use for a limited period of time (15 days). Within a couple of days you'll receive an email with instructions on how to activate a key that will work through July of the following year.
