<h4>3.1 <span class="Heading">Installing the FGA package</span></h4>
<p>The installation of the <strong class="pkg">FGA</strong> package follows standard <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> rules. So the standard method is to unpack the archive into the <code class="code">pkg</code> directory of your <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> distribution. This will create an <code class="code">fga</code> subdirectory.</p>
<p>For other non-standard options please see Chapter <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap76_mj.html#X82473E4B8756C6CD"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Installing a GAP Package</span></a> in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Reference Manual.</p>
<p><a id="X7BAF2BE07BAB1F27" name="X7BAF2BE07BAB1F27"></a></p>
<h4>3.2 <span class="Heading">Loading the FGA package</span></h4>
<p>The <strong class="pkg">FGA</strong> package is configured to autoload, so its functionality is usually available once <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is started.</p>
<p>If <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> does not autoload, you can request the package with the <code class="code">LoadPackage</code> command like this:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
<span class="GAPprompt">gap></span> <span class="GAPinput">LoadPackage( "fga" );</span>

<p>You will not see the banner if <strong class="pkg">FGA</strong> has already been loaded.</p>
<p>The <code class="code">LoadPackage</code> command and ways to disable autoloading are described in Section <a href="../../../doc/ref/chap76_mj.html#X825CBC5B86F8F811"><span class="RefLink">Reference: Loading a GAP Package</span></a> in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> Reference Manual.</p>
