How To Install gap-cryst on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gap-cryst on Debian 12.
What is gap-cryst
gap-cryst is:
GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra, with particular emphasis on Computational Group Theory. GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects. GAP is used in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, and more.
This package, previously known as CrystGAP, provides a rich set of methods for the computation with affine crystallographic groups, in particular space groups. Affine crystallographic groups are fully supported both in representations acting from the right or from the left, the latter one being preferred by crystallographers. Functions to determine representatives of all space group types of a given dimension are also provided. Where necessary, Cryst can also make use of functionality provided by the package CaratInterface. It was written by Bettina Eick, Franz G?hler and Werner Nickel.
