On the command line it'd give you an url again for generating this password: The password would be what we need to generate for ourselves. it also gave you your machine id and math_id. Press enter to ignore it and then it'd go on to ask you for activation_key again (explicitly in format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXX) and an extra password. It would then prompt you to enter activation_key here (the key we pasted into an text editor earlier on). Bear in mind this is not the directory where you installed wolframscript (default would be /usr/local/bin in Linux). exe for Windows.) Typically it should be under /your_path_to_wolfram_installation/Executables/. We need to locate the actual WolframKernel in our installation folder. Let's copy paste it into an editor for now. Quite self-explanatory this url gives us the activation_key that's associated with our machine/wolfram id. Take Linux as an example, $ wolframscript -v

Let's run WolframScript from the command line with argument -v, which is to ask WolframScript to output verbose log. (Yes WolframScript is different from Wolfram Kernel.)įollowing method should work cross-platform. I am not sure whether they did this on purpose but to enable the walfram engine was quite implicit.
