rds.tar.bz2
rds.tar.gz
rds-win.zip

a directory called gap/pkg in your home directory.
2. change directory to pkg/ and unpack the archive using the according command:
tar -xjf rds.tar.bz2
tar -xzf rds.tar.gz
unzip rds-win.zip
(replace with the version number)
3. start GAP. If you have created the directory gap/pkg in your home
directory, use "gap -l '/gap;'" where is the path of
your home directory (use "pwd" to find out what it is, if you don't know)
4. Type "LoadPackage("rds");" to load the RDS package
