# Oscar: Mathematica

## Loading and Launching Mathematica

1\. Open the Terminal and use the following commands at the command line.

2\. Start an interactive job by using the `interact` command. This command can take [additional parameters](https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/oscar/submitting-jobs/interact) to extend the resources and time allotted to the node as well as the partition that the node operates on.

3\. Command `module avail mathematica` to list all the available Mathematica versions (if running Oscar in PuTTY, pasting text is done by right-clicking).

4\. Command `module load mathematica` to load the latest Mathematica version.

5\. Command `mathematica` to launch the Mathematica app.
