<h4>1.1 <span class="Heading">General aims</span></h4>
<p>The overall aim of <strong class="pkg">QPA</strong> is to provide computational tools in basic research in mathematics (algebra). It seeks to furnish users within and outside the area of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras with a computational software package that will help in exploring a problem and testing conjectures. As with all software development, new ideas and question will arise. The ability to study and compute examples will help in proving or disproving well-established questions/conjectures. Furthermore, it will enable us to consider new examples which were not accessible by hand or other means before. In this way, we hope that <strong class="pkg">QPA</strong> will aid in the development, not only of the area of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras, but also of a broad variety of other areas of mathematics, where such structures occur. In addition we aspire to create a research environment for international cooperation on computational representation theory of finite dimensional algebras.</p>

<h4>1.2 <span class="Heading">Installation and system requirements</span></h4>
<p>Since the release of GAP version 4.7.8, the package <strong class="pkg">QPA</strong> is distributed with GAP, so if you download this version or any later version of GAP, the package <strong class="pkg">QPA</strong> will be installed at the same time as GAP is installed. Follow the instructions for installing GAP on the web page <span class="URL"><a href="https://www.gap-system.org/Download/index.html">https://www.gap-system.org/Download/index.html</a></span> After having successfully started GAP, give the command</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">LoadPackage("qpa");</span>
</pre></div>
<p>which loads QPA and you can start using QPA.</p>
<p>One can also clone the QPA git repository from</p>
<ul>
<li><p><span class="URL"><a href="https://github.com/gap-packages/qpa">https://github.com/gap-packages/qpa</a></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>to follow the QPA development. Follow the instructions on</p>
<ul>
<li><p><span class="URL"><a href="https://folk.ntnu.no/oyvinso/QPA/">https://folk.ntnu.no/oyvinso/QPA/</a></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>to install QPA by cloning the the git repository.</p>
