Pi 4B+Buster+Mathematica When? [Solved]

[ejolson]

Is it safe to assume that Mathematica will be available in Raspbian Buster and running on the Pi 4B by the end of August in time for the Fall semester?

[W. H. Heydt]

In reply to the thread title, rather than the more specific posting question...

In medieval cookbooks (which were written by professional cooks for professional cooks), one often comes across the line "...cook until enow". It means cook it until it's done. Likewise, Mathenmatica will arrive for Raspbian Buster when it's ready.

While I like the idea of professional cooks reading medieval cookbooks, anyone teaching a course that starts in September who wants to use Mathematica might like to know whether it would be better to purchase the Pi 4B now or wait until next year. That's assuming Raspbian Stretch running Mathematica also doesn't work on the Pi 4B, which is what I understand.

Correct only Raspbian Buster supports the RPi 4B.

I've not heard anything except that Wolfram need to fix it to work with Buster.

'buster' went through another 'apt update && apt upgrade -y', Wolfram & Mathematica icons showed up ....
Looks like one has to wait for more 'buster updates' .
