3.1 Installing the FGA package

The installation of the FGA package follows standard GAP rules. So the standard method is to unzoo the package into the pkg directory of your GAP distribution. This will create an fga subdirectory.

For other non-standard options please see Chapter Installing a GAP Package in the GAP Reference Manual.

3.2 Loading the FGA package

To use the FGA Package you have to request it explicitly. This is done by calling LoadPackage like this:

gap> LoadPackage("fga");
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading  FGA 1.0 (Free Group Algorithms)
by Christian Sievers (c.sievers@tu-bs.de).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
true

The LoadPackage command is described in Section LoadPackage in the GAP Reference Manual.
