%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \Chapter{Installation} This package must be installed in the `pkg' subdirectory of any of the {\GAP} 4 root directories. We assume here that this is `/gap4/pkg'. \begintt cd /gap4/pkg unzoo -x carat-2.1.zoo \endtt This creates a subdirectory `carat', the home directory of the present interface package. {\CARAT} itself can be installed anywhere on your system. You only have to make sure {\GAP} finds the {\CARAT} binaries, by making a symbolic link from the `bin' subdirectory in `pkg/carat' to the `bin' subdirectory of {\CARAT} itself. In our example, we install {\CARAT} in `/gap4/pkg/carat' (the {\CARAT} tar file should already be there): \begintt cd /gap4/pkg/carat zcat carat-2.1b1.tgz || tar pxf - ln -s carat-2.1b1/bin bin cd carat-2.1b1 \endtt This creates a subdirectory `carat-2.1b1', the {\CARAT} top level directory. You have to edit the Makefile in that directory. In particular, you have to set the variables TOPDIR (to `/gap4/pkg/carat/carat-2.1b1'), CC, and CFLAGS (to your favourite set of compiler options). Then do \begintt make \endtt If you build for more than one architecture, make sure to do a 'make clean' in between. Like any other {\GAP} 4 package, {\CARAT} is then loaded in {\GAP} with \beginexample gap> LoadPackage("carat"); true \endexample This package, together with {\CARAT} itself, takes some 208Mb of disk space, or more, depending on the system. Some 170Mb is taken by the catalog of Q-classes if integer matrix groups up to dimension 6. If you want to avoid unpacking this catalog, you can create empty subdirectories \begintt cd /gap4/pkg/carat/carat-2.1b1 mkdir tables mkdir tables/qcatalog \endtt before making {\CARAT}. If you want to unpack the catalog later, just remove the empty directory `tables/qcatalog', and do \begintt make Qcatalog \endtt
