[GAP Forum] Quagroup Installation

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear Issac,

You're likely using apt to install GAP. Instead, I suggest to use the GAP
source distribution from https://www.gap-system.org/Releases/4.11.0.html,
which comes together with all packages redistributed with GAP. The top of
this page has brief instructions which suffice for most cases:

./configure
make
cd pkg
../bin/BuildPackages.sh 

You will have to download and unpack one of the archives, e.g. 

	https://files.gap-system.org/gap-4.11/tar.gz/gap-4.11.0.tar.gz

change to the gap-4.11.0 directory, and then perform the commands above.

Please let me know if this will work.

Best wishes
Alexander
