To use this package, go into your local installation directory for GAP (often located under /opt/gap* ), and clone the repository in the pkg/-subfolder:
cd pkg/ git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/SimplicialSurfaces.git
You also need the following package:
git clone https://github.com/sebasguts/AttributeScheduler.gitIt is suggested that you also use the NautyTracesInterface for faster isomorphism checks:
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/NautyTracesInterface.gitTo initialize it, perform the steps in the README of that package (this needs automake and libtools and probably something else that I do not know)
Then LoadPackage("SimplicialSurfaces") can be used to access the package inside a GAP session.
To create the manual you have to type make in the main folder of the SimplicialSurfaces-package. This requires GAPDoc version >= 1.6 and AutoDoc version
= 2017.09.15. If you don't have those, go to the folder of your local GAP installation and type cd pkg/ git clone https://github.com/frankluebeck/GAPDoc.git git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/AutoDoc.git To compile the pictures, you also need the following bash-commands: autoconf htlatex md5sum pdflatex sed
