<p>Have <strong class="pkg">GAP 4.8</strong> or newer installed on your computer.</p>
<p>If you do not see the subfolder <code class="file">pkg/loops</code> in the main directory of <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> then download the <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> package from the distribution website <span class="URL"><a href="https://gap-packages.github.io/loops/">https://gap-packages.github.io/loops/</a></span> and unpack the downloaded file into the <code class="file">pkg</code> subfolder.</p>
<p>The package <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> can then be loaded to <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> anytime by calling <code class="code">LoadPackage("loops");</code>.</p>
<p>If you wish to load <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> automatically while starting <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>, start <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>, execute the following commands,</p>
<p>The documentation has been prepared with the <strong class="pkg">GAPDoc</strong> package and is therefore available in several formats: LaTeX, pdf, ps, html, and as an inline help in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>. All these formats have been obtained directly from the master XML documentation file. Consequently, the different formats of the documentation differ only in their appearance, not in content.</p>
<p>The preferred format of the documentation is html with MathJax turned on.</p>
<p>All formats of the documentation can be found in the <code class="file">doc</code> folder of <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>. You can also download the documentation from the <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> distribution website.</p>
<p>The inline <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> help is available upon installing <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> and can be accessed in the usual way, i.e., upon typing <code class="code">?command</code>, <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> displays the section of the <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> manual containing information about <code class="code">command</code>.</p>
<p>Test files conforming to <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> standards are provided for <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong> and can be found in the folder <code class="file">tst</code>. The command <code class="code">ReadPackage("loops","tst/testall.g")</code> runs all tests for <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>.</p>
<p>Some libraries of loops are loaded only upon explicit demand and can occupy a lot of memory. For instance, the library or RCC loops occupies close to 100 MB of memory when fully loaded. The command <code class="code">LOOPS_FreeMemory();</code> will attempt to free memory by unbinding on-demand library data loaded by <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>.</p>
<p>We welcome all comments and suggestions on <strong class="pkg">LOOPS</strong>, especially those concerning the future development of the package. You can contact us by e-mail.</p>
