# 3 Installing and loading the FGA package

### Sections

## 3.1 Installing the FGA package

The installation of the FGA package follows standard GAP rules. So the standard method is to unzoo the package into the `pkg` directory of your GAP distribution. This will create an `fga` subdirectory.

For other non-standard options please see Chapter Installing a GAP Package in the GAP Reference Manual.

## 3.2 Loading the FGA package

To use the FGA Package you have to request it explicitly. This is done by calling `LoadPackage` like this:

    gap> LoadPackage("fga");
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Loading  FGA 1.0 (Free Group Algorithms)
    by Christian Sievers (c.sievers@tu-bs.de).
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    true

The `LoadPackage` command is described in Section LoadPackage in the GAP Reference Manual.
