I think that is an **excellect** question! In fact we anticipated
such a possibility in the original design of MathAction. This is
part of what Tim Daly calls the Doyen idea.

Installing MathAction locally is certainly possible but the setup
is a little complex. So far as I know only two other Axiom
developers have done this. One is Bob McElrath - the developer
of the LaTeX extensions for Zwiki on which MathAction is based.
The other developer who has installed MathAxtion locally is Hans
Peter Wuermli.

It would be good first to review:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/MathAction

and then read:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/InstallingMathAction

(Note: Some of the information here is a little out of date.)

I would be very happy to help you set this up locally for your
own use. As part of the process, this would allow me to improve
the How-To documentation.
