Description

I wanted to see how qLDPC (v0.1.3) interacts with GAP but failed at the first step (GAP installation using conda) :

[]((qldpc-v0.1.3) C:\test>conda install -c conda-forge gap
Channels:

  • conda-forge
  • defaults
    Platform: win-64
    Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
    Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  • gap

Current channels:

This is under Windows 10 where I have GAP installed already as a stand alone application...
I normally use conda for python only packages; so this step is new.
If there's a way to link to my existing GAP installation then that's even better...but I don't know how that's done.

(assuming I get past this step, where can I find examples where qLPDC interacts with GAP)

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #294 and the merged pull request #391, then reproduce the reported GAP installation failure on Windows 10 with qLDPC v0.1.3. Check how the existing standalone GAP installation relates to the Python environment and identify the requested qLDPC/GAP examples. Done means a documented, working integration path and accessible examples.
