The installation of the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">FGA</font> package follows standard <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> rules.
So the standard method is to unpack the archive into the <code>pkg</code>
directory  of your <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> distribution.  This will create an <code>fga</code>
subdirectory. 
<p>
For other non-standard options please see Chapter&nbsp;<a href="../../../doc/htm/ref/CHAP074.htm#SECT001">Installing a GAP Package</a> in the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> Reference Manual.

<h2><a name="SECT002">3.2 Loading the FGA package</a></h2>
<p><p>
<a name = "I2"></a>

The <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">FGA</font> package is configured to autoload, so its functionality is
usually available once <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> is started.
<p>
If <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> does not autoload, you can request the package with the
<code>LoadPackage</code> command like this:
<p>
<pre>
gap&gt; LoadPackage( "fga" );

Loading  FGA 1.1 (Free Group Algorithms)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
true
</pre>
<p>
You will not see the banner if <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">FGA</font> has already been loaded.
<p>
The <code>LoadPackage</code> command and ways to disable autoloading are
described in Section&nbsp;<a href="../../../doc/htm/ref/CHAP074.htm#SECT002">Loading a GAP Package</a> in the <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font>
Reference Manual.
