Raspbian Jessie and Wheezy distribution includes Wolfram Language and Mathematica. While this can be helpful for students, it doesn’t have much use for others. The following instructions will remove both Wolfram and Mathematica from your Raspberry Pi (Raspbian distribution). It saves 658MB in Jessie.<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get remove wolfram-engine<\/strong>\nReading package lists... Done\nBuilding dependency tree\nReading state information... Done\nThe following packages will be REMOVED:\n wolfram-engine\n0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 59 not upgraded.\nAfter this operation, 658 MB disk space will be freed.\nDo you want to continue?
