Installing the DESIGN Package
The DESIGN package is included in the standard GAP distribution. You only need to download and install DESIGN if you need to install the package locally or are installing an upgrade of DESIGN to an existing installation of GAP (see the main GAP reference section "ref:Installing a GAP Package"). If you do need to download DESIGN, you can find archive files for the package in various formats at https://www.gap-system.org/Packages/design.html, and then your archive file of choice should be downloaded and unpacked in the `pkg' subdirectory of an appropriate GAP root directory (see the main GAP reference section "ref:GAP Root Directories").
The DESIGN package is written entirely in GAP code, and requires no further installation. However, the DESIGN package has complete functionality only in an environment in which the GRAPE package is fully installed.
