To install the algebra based question type you will need the following:
-1) Already installed copy of Moodle 2.1 or higher. It may work with other
- Moodle versions but this is the only one I have tested it with.
-
-2) PHP5: The code uses exceptions and so requires PHP version 5 at a
- minimum. I used this since Moodle 2.1 will require it so it should
- not be an unusual requirement for long. I used PHP 5.3.5.

3) If you want to use the SAGE XML-RPC server you will also need XML-RPC
support in PHP5. Most installations include this but the MAMP 1.7.1

3) To run the SAGE XML-RPC server you will need an installed copy of SAGE
(http://www.sagemath.org/). Edit the first line of the 'sage-server.py'
file to point to your installed copy of the sage executable. Then simply
execute the sage-server.py script. It will run a very simple XML-RPC
server. If the machine you run your moodle server on is different from
- the machine running your SAGE webserver you will need to edit line 191-
- 193 of the file question/type/algebra/question.php to point to the
- XML-RPC server. The same applies if you edit the network port. (This
- mechanism obviously needs to be improved!)
