A basic collection of simple functions for installing and removing GAP packages, with the eventual aim of becoming a full package manager for the GAP system.
Example invocations:
gap> LoadPackage("PackageManager");
gap> InstallPackage("digraphs");
gap> InstallPackage("https://github.com/gap-packages/Semigroups.git");
gap> InstallPackage("https://www.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4/tar.gz/packages/mapclass-1.2.tar.gz");
gap> RemovePackage("semigroups");
By default, verbose information about a command's progress is printed to the screen. To see less of this information, try using:
gap> SetInfoLevel(InfoPackageManager, 1);
For more information on the features of PackageManager, see the documentation at https://gap-packages.github.io/PackageManager/doc/chap1.html or enter GAP and call, for example,
gap> ?InstallPackage
