How To Install gap-cryst on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gap-cryst on Kali Linux.
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.
There are three methods to install gap-cryst on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install gap-cryst Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install gap-cryst using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install gap-crystInstall gap-cryst Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install gap-cryst using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install gap-crystInstall gap-cryst Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude updateAfter updating apt database, We can install gap-cryst using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install gap-crystHow To Uninstall gap-cryst on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the gap-cryst package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove gap-crystUninstall gap-cryst And Its Dependencies
To uninstall gap-cryst and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove gap-crystRemove gap-cryst Configurations and Data
To remove gap-cryst configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge gap-crystRemove gap-cryst configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove gap-cryst configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge gap-crystDependencies
gap-cryst have the following dependencies:
