    This is a remainder for myself because I need once a year run Mathematica.
    This is a remainder for myself because I need to run Mathematica once a year.
    Often the version I use is different from nixpkgs.

    First you find a copy of `Mathematica_12.1.0_LINUX.sh` or similar.
    Then you go to (nixpkgs)[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/science/math/mathematica]
    and copy those files to a local directory.
    First you find a copy of `Mathematica_12.1.0_LINUX.sh` or similar and find its `sha256sum`.
    Then you go to [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/science/math/mathematica)
    and copy all Mathematica files to a local directory.
    You need to modify `default.nix` and wrap its contents into
    ```
    let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
    in pkgs.callPackage (
    # whatever is in default.nix
    ) {}
    ```
    Finally, running `nix-build default.nix` will install it.
    Next modify sha256 checksum and filename in `l10n.nix` to match what you have above.
    Run `nix-store --add-fixed sha256 Mathematica_12.1.0_LINUX.sh`.
    Finally, running `nix-build default.nix` will install Mathematica to Nix store.
