Dear Abdulhakeem Alayiwola, As you wrote to me, you have Windows and you are interested in lattices of subgroups.
You can't install XGAP on Windows since it requires UNIX environment. For example, it works on Linux and on OS X (needs XQuartz - https://www.xquartz.org/). For Windows machine, one suggestion could be to install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and establish Linux virtual machine. Hopefully the functionality you want will eventually appear in the GAP Jupyter interface (http://opendreamkit.org/activities/2016-08-03-gap-docker-jupyter/), but it's not there yet. However note that under Windows you should be able to compute the lattice of subgroups using `LatticeSubgroups` and then explore it from GAP. Strictly speaking, XGAP is needed to *visualise* the lattice of subgroups, but not to *compute* it. There is also a GAP function `DotFileLatticeSubgroups ` that produces an input file for GraphViz (http://www.graphviz.org) which you will hopefully be able to used under Windows. See this example: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1737962/subgroup-lattice-of-ut3-3/1737985#1737985 Hope this helps Alexander > On 16 Nov 2016, at 10:07, abdulhakeem alayiwola <lovepgro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear forum, > I have tried to install XGAP but i have not been successful.
