The manual is now on the arXiv. If you use E6Tensors for you work please cite arXiv:1605.05920.

A first version of the package is already available in the project's download section. A paper with a manual will soon appear at the arXiv.

Installation

e6tensors_full

Download version x.y.z at the dowload page. Extract the tarball
tar -xzf e6tensors_full-x.y.z.tar.gz
The contained file "E6Tensors.m" is ready for usage in Mathematica. Mind that is has a size of roughly 150 MB. Therfore, be sure to provide enough RAM for Mathematica. See the "examples.nb" file for some neat examples.

e6tensors_small

This version has the advantage of a smaller download size. Download it at the dowload page and extract the archiv
tar -xzf e6tensors_full-x.y.z.tar.gz
Switch your working directory to
cd e6tensors_small
and enter the following command. This may take some time!
./install.sh
If your Mathematica command line version is not called math, you should change that in install.sh. The script calls Mathematica and runs create_E6Tensors.m. If you want to use more than one CPU change
LaunchKernels[1]
in create_E6Tensors.m to the right value. Be sure to provide enough subkernel licences. On an i5 quad-core machine using four subkernels this installation takes about half an hour.
Now, your version is perfectly equivalent to e6tensors_full.
