I'm trying to install [wolfram-engine](https://www.wolfram.com/engine/) . However I'm facing some error. After executing sudo bash WolframEngine_13.1.0_LINUX.sh I got following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfram Engine 13.1 Installer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1988-2022 Wolfram Research, Inc.

I use Mathematica 12.3 on Xubuntu 20.4. The computer runs with German localization. I wondered, why one of my notebooks is displayed with the icon usually used for LibreOfficeWriter documents. In the file browser Thunar, this file is shown having the type "Mathematica-Notebook-Datei". Since I know that Mathematica notebooks are plain ASCII files, I looked at its very beginning with an ASCII-editor. Before the big Notebook expression, it looks like this: (*CacheID: 234*) (* Internal cache information: NotebookFileLineBreakTest NotebookFileLineBreakTest NotebookDataPosition[ 0, 0] NotebookDataLength[ 66787, 1565] NotebookOptionsPosition[ 59602, 1429] NotebookOutlinePosition[ 60781, 1460] CellTagsIndexPosition[ 60738, 1457] WindowFrame->Normal*) (* Beginning of Notebook Content *) I was able to open this notebook im Mma 12.3, mark all its content, copy it to the clipboard, open a new notebook and paste the clipboard there. In the frontend, the new notebook looked like the old one. After I stored this new notebook under a different name, the usual Mathematica notebook-icon was assigned to it. I could be happy with that. I wonder how I got to the notebook with the wrong icon. Thunar displayed the type of the new notebook as "Wolfram Notebook" rather than "Mathematica-Notebook-Datei". When looking at the beginning of this new notebook, its content before the big "Notebook" expression looks like this in a plain ASCI editor: (* Content-type: application/vnd.wolfram.mathematica *) (*** Wolfram Notebook File ***) (* http://www.wolfram.com/nb *) (* CreatedBy='Mathematica 12.3' *) (*CacheID: 234*) (* Internal cache information: NotebookFileLineBreakTest NotebookFileLineBreakTest NotebookDataPosition[ 158, 7] NotebookDataLength[ 66111, 1551] NotebookOptionsPosition[ 59760, 1436] NotebookOutlinePosition[ 60263, 1453] CellTagsIndexPosition[ 60220, 1450] WindowFrame->Normal*) (* Beginning of Notebook Content *) The difference between the two representations is the absence for the header lines before the line (*Cache ID: xxx*) in the former representation (the one with the wrong icon). I think I did nothing special with the original notebook. But I am curious, what may have caused the maze. If there is no disadvantage associated to the stripped format version (the one without the lines before (*CacheID: xxx*)), would it be possible to use xfce4-mime-settings to assign the right MIME type to it?

I'm currently trying to install WolframEngine to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS which is Linux Subsystem on my Windows computer. This is a ultimately to be able to use wolframscript from within my WSL command line. I've downloaded the WolframScript from here , and installed it with no problems. However, when I try to test it, (e.g. running wolframscript -code 2+2) I'm prompted with this output:

A WolframKernel location could not be determined.

Use -configure to set WOLFRAMSCRIPT_KERNELPATH.
Alternatively, export WolframKernel=/yourpath/WolframKernel.

If you have no Wolfram product currently installed,
 the free Wolfram Engine for developers can be downloaded
 at https://www.wolfram.com/engine/ .

I do in fact have a licensed kernal for Wolfram on my computer but since that runs off of Windows, I thought I would install the WolframEngine to my WSL. So I followed the link in the output prompt and downloaded the shell script titled: WolframEngine_12.3.1_LINUX.sh. I've tried running this script (from multiple locations in my system) but each time I run source WolframEngine_12.3.1_LINUX.sh. I always get the output

bash: source: WolframEngine_12.3.1_LINUX.sh: cannot execute binary file

I'm not sure why my system can't run the shell script. I'm running it using bash, as that is the shell interpreter for my Ubuntu distro. How can I get my system to run this file so I can start using wolframscript from my command line?

I ran

[{"/usr/bin/kdialog", "--yesno", "Yes?"}]

in Mathematica on a raspberry pi with kde and it gives me:

127, "StandardOutput" -> "", 
 "StandardError" -> 
  "/usr/bin/kdialog: relocation error: \

The command works fine in Konsole.

I want to install Mathematica 11, a version from my university. I have two files, Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh and Mathematica11_1_1_LINUX.sh.part. What do I have to do in order to install the program?
