Basic package manager for GAP

The GAP 4 package "PackageManager"

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
