If by any chance it is not part of your {\GAP} distribution, then the standard method is to unpack the package into the `pkg' directory of your {\GAP} distribution. This will create a `guarana' subdirectory. For other non-standard options please see Chapter~"ref:Installing a GAP Package" of the {\GAP} Reference Manual. Note that the GAP-Packages Polycyclic and Polenta are needed for this package. Normally they should be contained in your distribution. If not, they can be obtained at \begintt www.gap-system.org/Packages/packages.html \endtt %To create the documentation, go into the `doc' directory and type %`make_doc'. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \Section{Loading the Guarana package}\null \atindex{Loading the Guarana package}{@loading the {\Guarana} package} If the {\Guarana} Package is not already loaded then you have to request it explicitly. This can be done by `LoadPackage("guarana")'. The `LoadPackage' command is described in Section~"ref:LoadPackage" in the {\GAP} Reference Manual. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \Section{Running the test suite} Once the package is installed, it is possible to check the correct installation by running the test suite of the package. \beginexample gap> Read(Filename(DirectoriesPackageLibrary("guarana","tst")[1],"testall.g")); \endexample For more details on Test Files see Section~"ref:Test Files" of the {\GAP} Reference Manual.
