How To Install gap-polycyclic on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gap-polycyclic on Kali Linux.

What is gap-polycyclic

gap-polycyclic 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.

GAP Polycyclic is a package for computation with polycyclic groups, by Bettina Eick, Max Horn and Werner Nickel.

There are three methods to install gap-polycyclic 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-polycyclic Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install gap-polycyclic using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install gap-polycyclic

Install gap-polycyclic Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install gap-polycyclic using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install gap-polycyclic

Install gap-polycyclic 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 update

After updating apt database, We can install gap-polycyclic using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install gap-polycyclic

How To Uninstall gap-polycyclic on Kali Linux
