The GAP 4 package `SimplicialSurfaces'
==============================
To use this package, go into your local installation directory for GAP
(often located under /opt/gap* ), and clone the repository in the
pkg/-subfolder:
cd pkg/
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/SimplicialSurfaces.git
You also need the following package:
git clone https://github.com/sebasguts/AttributeScheduler.git
It is suggested that you also use the NautyTracesInterface for faster
isomorphism checks:
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/NautyTracesInterface.git
To initialize it, perform the steps in the README of that package (this needs
automake and libtools and probably something else that I do not know)
Then
LoadPackage("SimplicialSurfaces")
can be used to access the package inside a GAP session.
To create the manual you have to type
make
in the main folder of the SimplicialSurfaces-package. This requires GAPDoc
version >= 1.6 and AutoDoc version
>= 2017.09.15. If you don't have those, go to the folder of your local GAP
installation and type
cd pkg/
git clone https://github.com/frankluebeck/GAPDoc.git
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/AutoDoc.git
To compile the pictures, you also need the following bash-commands:
autoconf
htlatex
md5sum
pdflatex
sed
If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

will not get lost in some mails and it makes managing the requests easier.
Have fun! :)
