GRAPE is a GAP package for computing with graphs and groups, by Leonard Soicher, with contributions from Steve Linton, Alexander Hulpke, Jerry James and Max Horn, and including Brendan McKay’s nauty (Version 2.8.6) package.

The official GAP Windows distribution includes the GRAPE package fully installed. Thus, GRAPE normally requires no further installation for Windows users of GAP. What follows is for Unix users of GRAPE.
You do not need to download and unpack an archive for GRAPE unless you want to install the package separately from your main GAP installation or are installing an upgrade of GRAPE to an existing installation of GAP.
If you do need to download GRAPE, you can find the latest archive
.tar.gz file for the package at https://gap-packages.github.io/grape.
The archive file should be downloaded and unpacked in the pkg
subdirectory of an appropriate GAP root directory.
If your GRAPE installation does not already have a compiled binary of
the nauty/dreadnaut programs included with GRAPE and you do not want
to use an already installed version of nauty or bliss, you will need to
perform compilation of the nauty/dreadnaut programs included with GRAPE,
and to do this in a Unix environment, you should proceed as follows. After
installing GAP, go to the GRAPE home directory (usually the directory
pkg/grape of the GAP home directory), and run ./configure <path>,
where path is the path of the GAP home directory. So for example, if
you install GRAPE in the pkg directory of the GAP home directory, run
./configure ../.. Then run make to complete the installation of GRAPE.
Testing instructions for the GRAPE package can be found in Chapter 1 of the GRAPE manual, available from https://gap-packages.github.io/grape.
