1 The SmallClassNr package

This is the manual for the GAP 4 package SmallClassNr version 1.4.1, developed by Sam Tertooy.

1.1 Installation

You can download SmallClassNr as a .tar.gz archive here. After extracting, you should place it in a suitable pkg folder. For example, on a Debian-based Linux distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint), you can place it in $HOME/.gap/pkg (recommended) which makes it available for just yourself, or in the GAP installation directory (gap-X.Y.Z/pkg) which makes it available for all users.

You can use the following command to efficiently install the package for yourself:

wget -qO- https://[...].tar.gz | tar xzf - --one-top-level=$HOME/.gap/pkg

If the PackageManager package is installed and loaded, you can install SmallClassNr from within a GAP session using InstallPackage (PackageManager 2.1-1).

gap> InstallPackage( "https://[...].tar.gz" );
...
true

1.2 Loading

Once installed, loading SmallClassNr can be done by using LoadPackage (ref 76.2-1).

gap> LoadPackage( "SmallClassNr" );
...
true
