2.1 Installation and system requirements

Both SCSCP client and server for GAP work in Linux, OS X and Windows.

To use the SCSCP package it is necessary to install recent versions of GAP4 packages IO [Neu], GAPDoc [LN] and OpenMath [CKNS].

The SCSCP package is distributed in standard formats (tar.gz, tar.bz2) and can be obtained from https://gap-packages.github.io/scscp/ or from the GAP web site (the latter also offers win.zip-archives). To install SCSCP package, put its tar.gz-archive into the pkg subdirectory of your GAP4 installation and enter the command tar -xzf scscp-X.X.X.tar.gz, then the subdirectory scscp (containing subdirectories doc, lib etc.) will be created in the pkg subdirectory. Installation using other archive formats is performed in a similar way.

When there are no access rights to the root directory of the main GAP installation, it is also possible to install the package outside the GAP main directory by unpacking it inside a directory MYGAPDIR/pkg. Then to load the package GAP should be started with -l ";MYGAPDIR" option.

2.2 Configuration files

There are four files in the package which may need to be modified to setup and customise the package. The first three files are related with the server's functionality:

The fourth file is related with the client's functionality for parallel computations:

See comments in these configuration files for further details and examples.
