I'd like to give Maxima a try in a Jupyter notebook on my Mac. Is the Homebrew version of Maxima up to the task?
I did try following the instructions at https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter , but I immediately got a non-informative error:
% curl -L -O https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter/archive/master.zip
% unzip master.zip && cd maxima-jupyter-master
% rlwrap maxima
Maxima 5.43.2 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 2.0.0

;
; compilation unit aborted
; caught 1 fatal ERROR condition
loadfile: failed to load load-maxima-jupyter.lisp
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);

I installed both maxima
and jupyter
via brew
, here are their versions:
% maxima --version
Maxima 5.43.2
% jupyter --version
jupyter core : 4.6.3
jupyter-notebook : 6.0.3
qtconsole : 4.7.3
ipython : 7.13.0
ipykernel : 5.2.1
jupyter client : 6.1.3
jupyter lab : not installed
nbconvert : 5.6.1
ipywidgets : 7.5.1
nbformat : 5.0.6
traitlets : 4.3.3
Any advice?

I have successfully installed Maxima-Jupyter on macOS using Homebrew.
Edit Formula/maxima.rb. Comment out "--enable-sbcl-exec",
Save and quit
Assuming you have quicklisp installed successfully,
