and loading the Polenta package

4.1 Installing the Polenta package

The installation of the Polenta package follows standard GAP rules. So the standard method is to unpack the package into the pkg directory of your GAP distribution. This will create a polenta subdirectory.

For other non-standard options please see Chapter Installing a GAP Package in the GAP Reference Manual.

Note that the GAP-Packages Alnuth and Polycyclic are needed for this package. They can be obtained at smallskip centerlinetthttp://cayley.math.nat.tu-bs.de/software/content.html

4.2 Loading the Polenta package

If the Polenta Package is not already loaded then you have to request it explicitly. This can be done by LoadPackage("polenta"). The LoadPackage command is described in Section LoadPackage in the GAP Reference Manual.
