Like other GAP packages, you download and unpack this package into GAP's pkg
directory. For example, if you were using some Unix derivative and GAP were installed in the directory /usr/local/gap4r4
, then you would do the following.
$ cd /usr/local/gap4r4/pkg $ su % wget http://math.uic.edu/~marcus/Crime/crime-1.3.tar.gz % tar xvzvf crime-1.3.tar.gz |
In this situation, users would load the package with the LoadPackage
command.
$ gap gap> LoadPackage("crime"); |
Users not having root access, using someone else's computer, or having bad relationships with their network administrators, could install the package into their home directories or into some other writable directory such as /tmp
, and load the package as follows.
$ mkdir /tmp/pkg $ cd /tmp/pkg $ wget http://math.uic.edu/~marcus/Crime/crime-1.3.tar.gz $ tar xvzvf crime-1.3.tar.gz $ gap -l ';/tmp' gap> LoadPackage("crime"); |
Finally, it would be a good idea to run the test file to confirm that all the functions work.
gap> ReadPackage("crime","tst/test.g"); |
You can count yourself lucky if GAP doesn't complain about anything. There is also a longer running test file for those having ample free time described in Appendix B..
