A GAP package for group recognition
To get the newest version of this GAP 4 package download the
archive file recog-x.x.tar.gz
and unpack it using
tar xvf recog-x.x.tar.gz
Do this in a directory called pkg
, preferably (but not necessarily)
in the pkg
subdirectory of your GAP 4 installation. It creates a
subdirectory called recog
.
This is all which is needed if you installed the package in the standard
pkg
subdirectory.
Note that the recog package needs the AtlasRep
, FactInt
, Forms
,
genss
, and orb
packages to work.
If you installed the package in another pkg
directory than the standard
pkg
directory in your GAP 4 installation, then you have to add the path
to the directory containing your pkg
directory to GAP’s list of directories.
This can be done by starting GAP with the -l
command line option
followed by the name of the directory and a semicolon. Then your directory
is prepended to the list of directories searched. Otherwise the package
is not found by GAP. Of course, you can add this option to your GAP
startup script.
Recompiling the documentation is possible by the command gap makedoc.g
in the recog directory. But this should not be necessary.
If you have any bug reports, feature requests, or suggestions, then please tell us via the issue tracker on GitHub.
In addition, the recog package has a mailing list, at recog@gap-system.org, which can be used for holding discussions, sharing information, and asking questions about the package. You can find more information, and register to receive the mail sent to this list, at https://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/recog.
