User defined Quick Build command (sage) does not work in Texmaker

Question

I use LaTex a lot in Ubuntu 14.04. Recently I came to know about the sagetex package and installed sage-6.8-x86_64-Linux . Suppose the tex file is example.tex , then one has to run the following commanda to make it work.

pdflatex example.tex
sage example.sagetex.sage
pdflatex example.tex

Now I want to do run these commands from Texmaker. So I go to the menu and then Options → Configure → QuickBuild → User and define there (in User) these three commands. I used the following pipeline

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex | sage %.sagetex.sage | pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

After that when I run Quick Build on the file from texmaker, I get a error message,

Error : could not start the command

I want to know why the Quick Build command does not work ? also if anyone could help me so that I could run those command from Texmaker.

Answer 1

I have tried StackExchange for Tex and resolved the problem. I have figured out whats was going wrong with my Quickbuild command. I have to write the whole path for the command sage in Texmaker. I replace my pipeline in Options → Configure → QuickBuild → User with

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex | /home/ddas/sage-6.8-x86_64-Linux/sage %.sagetex.sage | pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

But you have to replace the path /home/ddas/sage-6.8-x86_64-Linux/sage with yours.

Also you may write your own script as @Dan advised at here.
