[rocky]

I suspect an important message that is getting reported is:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

So, probably want to understand where the "user installation" location is.

Messages like:

Requirement already satisfied: typing-extensions>=4.0.0 in /home/mint/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (from pint->Mathics3>=8.0.0->mathicsscript) (4.13.2)

seem to suggest somewhere under /home/mint/.local.

So, see if you can find mathicscript under that directory.

If so, you can issue the full name of the script file or ensure the directory that is in appears in your $PATH.
