HomalgProject.jl

Introduction

The Julia package HomalgProject provides simplified access to the repositories of the GAP packages hosted on the GitHub organization homalg-project, most of which are based on the

• CAP project,
• homalg project.

These are open source GAP multi-package projects for constructive category theory and homological algebra with applications to module theory of commutative and non-commutative algebras and algebraic geometry.

Installation

Install Julia

To install Julia follow the first Steps 0 and 1 on our installation page.

Install HomalgProject.jl

Then start julia in a terminal and add the package HomalgProject:

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add("HomalgProject")

julia> using HomalgProject

Testing

The correctness of the installation and the availability of the functionality can at any time be tested using

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.test("HomalgProject")

Updating

After each update of the Julia package GAP a rebuild is (probably) necessary:

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.update("HomalgProject")

julia> Pkg.build("HomalgProject")

This will also clone the repositories listed in CapAndHomalg.PACKAGES_TO_DOWNLOAD using DownloadAllPackagesFromHomalgProject and compile the packages listed in CapAndHomalg.PACKAGES_TO_COMPILE using GAP.Packages.install(pkgname).

Software dependency

HomalgProject relies on the

all of which are components of the computer algebra system OSCAR.

Some of the bundled packages use the GAP packages

• IO
• ferret
• json
• QPA2
