If by any chance it is not part of your <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> distribution, then the standard method is to unpack the package into the <code>pkg</code> directory of your <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> distribution. This will create a <code>guarana</code> subdirectory. For other non-standard options please see Chapter <a href="../../../doc/htm/ref/CHAP075.htm#SECT001">Installing a GAP Package</a> of the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> Reference Manual. <p> 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 <pre> www.gap-system.org/Packages/packages.html </pre> <p> <p> <h2><a name="SECT002">4.2 Loading the Guarana package</a></h2> <p><p> <a name = "I0"></a> If the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">Guarana</font> Package is not already loaded then you have to request it explicitly. This can be done by <code>LoadPackage("guarana")</code>. The <code>LoadPackage</code> command is described in Section <a href="../../../doc/htm/ref/CHAP075.htm#SSEC002.1">LoadPackage</a> in the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> Reference Manual. <p> <p> <h2><a name="SECT003">4.3 Running the test suite</a></h2> <p><p> Once the package is installed, it is possible to check the correct installation by running the test suite of the package. <p> <pre> gap> Read(Filename(DirectoriesPackageLibrary("guarana","tst")[1],"testall.g")); </pre> For more details on Test Files see Section <a href="../../../doc/htm/ref/CHAP007.htm#SECT009">Test Files</a> of the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> Reference Manual. <p> If the test suite runs into an error, then please send a message to <code>bjoern@mcs.st-and.ac.uk</code> including the error message. <p> <p> [<a href = "chapters.htm">Up</a>] [<a href ="CHAP003.htm">Previous</a>] [<a href = "theindex.htm">Index</a>] <P> <address>Example manual<br>June 2007 </address></body></html>
