Can I run this on a Mac with M-series chips?

Yes, the skill includes specific --platform linux/amd64 flags to ensure the container runs correctly on Apple Silicon.

How do I verify if the setup worked?

The skill provides a smoke test that loads the ReLie source and runs a small pipeline test using the heat equation to confirm the REPL is responsive.

Does this skill require Docker to be installed?

Yes, this skill relies on Docker to provide a consistent environment for the REDUCE engine. It includes checks to ensure the Docker daemon is running.

What is the purpose of the ReLie package?

ReLie is a specialized package for REDUCE designed to calculate Lie symmetries of systems of differential equations.

What is REDUCE in this context?

REDUCE is a general-purpose computer algebra system used for symbolic mathematical calculations, particularly useful in physics and engineering.

Bootstraps the REDUCE Computer Algebra System via Docker to perform Lie symmetry analysis on differential equations.

About

This skill automates the setup and verification of the REDUCE environment using Docker, specifically configured for the ReLie package. It handles the complexities of containerized execution, including volume mounting, platform-specific flags for Apple Silicon, and initial smoke tests to ensure the REPL and Lie symmetry pipelines are functioning correctly. It is an essential utility for researchers and developers working with the DiffSymAgent workflow who need a reproducible, containerized mathematical symbolic environment for solving differential equations.
