Many thanks for your replies. I used apt-get to install the GAP. I then downloaded gap-4.11.0.tar.gz, extracted the folder and then ran the code below:
1. isaac@isaac-Dell-System-Inspiron-N4110:~/Desktop/gap-4.11.0$ ./configure && make 2. isaac@isaac-Dell-System-Inspiron-N4110:~/Desktop/gap-4.11.0/pkg$ ../bin/BuildPackages.sh 3. isaac@isaac-Dell-System-Inspiron-N4110:~/Desktop/gap-4.11.0$ gap ┌───────┐ GAP 4.10.2 of 19-Jun-2019 │ GAP │ https://www.gap-system.org └───────┘ Architecture: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-default64-kv3 Configuration: gmp 6.2.0, readline Loading the library and packages ... Packages: Alnuth 3.1.1, AtlasRep 1.5.1, AutPGrp 1.10, CTblLib 1.2.2, FactInt 1.6.3, GAPDoc 1.6.2, IO 4.7.0, Polycyclic 2.14, PrimGrp 3.3.2, SmallGrp 1.3, TomLib 1.2.8, TransGrp 2.0.4 Try '??help' for help. See also '?copyright', '?cite' and '?authors' 4. gap> LoadPackage("quagroup"); fail During the second step, most of the output came red (I guess this signifies errors). I am wondering whether unpacking an archive (gap-4.11.0.tar.gz) is the same as extracting the archive?? Thanks, Isaac.
