Thank you very much for the responses. I installed clisp, since the download
size was nearly a tenth of gcl's. The installation was done without a
problem. I tried out some basic commands from the CLI and they worked, but I
wasn't able to plot graphs. I get "/bin/dash: gnuplot: not found
". Should I install gnuplot from gnuplot site?
Also, can I get a separate window for maxima, like it is in Windows. When I
type "maxima" in the terminal, it opens in the terminal.
