Windows:
Maple can be run with administrative privileges by first right-clicking the Desktop icon, and then selecting "Run as administrator".
This can also be made permanent by, instead of selecting "Run as administrator" after right-clicking, going to "Properties" and then "Compatibility".
Tip: To check that Maple is running "as administrator":
-
Open the "Task Manager", and go to "Details".
-
Check if the "Elevated" status is given as "Yes".
Note: If the column is not visible, right-click on the row of column headers, click "Select columns", and then check "Elevated", and finally press "OK".
Macintosh:
To run Maple as root, you can execute the following from a Terminal Window (shown for Maple 2021):
cd //Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/2021/bin sudo ./xmaple
To make this permanent, first open the script in a text editor as root:
cd //Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/2021/bin sudo open -e xmaple
Then, amend the final line:
sudo "${MAPLE}/bin/maple" -x "$@"
Tip: To confirm that Maple is running as root, you can perform these steps:
-
Open the "Activity Monitor" (in "Applications" > "Utilities").
-
Under "Disk", check if Maple has "root" listed for "User".
Note: If "User" isn't a column, you will need to right-click the row of headers, and then select "User".
