GAP 4.11.1

For an overview of changes in GAP 4.11.1 see CHANGES.md file.

Linux and macOS

Download one of the gap-4.11.1.* archives below, unpack it and run ./configure && make in the unpacked directory. Then change to the pkg subdirectory and call ../bin/BuildPackages.sh to run the script which will build most of the packages that require compilation (provided sufficiently many libraries, headers and tools are available). For further details, see here. Expert users can find the description of all installation options in the INSTALL.md file.

gap-4.11.1.tar.gz 487 MB sha256: 6635c5da7d82755f8339486b9cac33766f58712f297e8234fba40818902ea304
gap-4.11.1.zip 523 MB sha256: 310c3bf9c33c751ad8766e331662282ea580fa7c6f628fd549b5b3e3a72c8331

You may also consider one of the alternative distributions. Note, however, that these are updated independently and may not yet provide the latest GAP release.

Windows

For users of Windows 10, we strongly recommend using GAP via the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Otherwise, we recommend the use of the following .exe installer, which contains 64-bit binaries for GAP (compiled with the support of GMP and readline libraries) and for selected GAP packages, and provides the standard installation procedure.

Note that the path to the GAP directory should not contain spaces. For example, you may install GAP in C:\gap-4.11.1 (default), D:\gap-4.11.1 or C:\Math\GAP\gap-4.11.1, but you must not install it in a directory named like C:\Program files\gap-4.11.1 or C:\Users\alice\My Documents\gap-4.11.1 etc.
