So the standard method is to unpack the archive into the `pkg' directory of your {\GAP} distribution. This will create an `fga' subdirectory. For other non-standard options please see Chapter~"ref:Installing a GAP Package" in the {\GAP} Reference Manual. %To create the documentation, go into the `doc' directory and type %`make_doc'. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \Section{Loading the FGA package}\null \atindex{Loading the FGA package}{@loading the {\FGA} package|indexit} The {\FGA} package is configured to autoload, so its functionality is usually available once {\GAP} is started. If {\GAP} does not autoload, you can request the package with the `LoadPackage' command like this: \beginexample gap> LoadPackage( "fga" ); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading FGA 1.1 (Free Group Algorithms) by Christian Sievers (c.sievers@tu-bs.de). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- true \endexample You will not see the banner if {\FGA} has already been loaded. The `LoadPackage' command and ways to disable autoloading are described in Section~"ref:Loading a GAP Package" in the {\GAP} Reference Manual. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% %E
