3 Quick Start 3.1 Localization of ℤ The following example is taken from Section 2 of [BR06]. The computation takes place over the local ring R=ℤ_⟨ 2⟩ (i.e. ℤ localized at the maximal ideal generated by 2). Here we compute the (infinite) long exact homology sequence of the covariant functor Hom(Hom(-,R/2^7R),R/2^4R) (and its left derived functors) applied to the short exact sequence 0 -> M_=R/2^2R --alpha_1--> M=R/2^5R --alpha_2--> _M=R/2^3R -> 0. We want to lead your attention to the commands LocalizeAt and HomalgLocalMatrix. The first one creates a localized ring from a global one and generators of a maximal ideal and the second one creates a local matrix from a global matrix. The other commands used here are well known from homalg.  Example    gap> LoadPackage( "LocalizeRingForHomalg" );; gap> ZZ := HomalgRingOfIntegers( ); Z gap> R := LocalizeAt( ZZ , [ 2 ] ); Z_< 2 > gap> Display( R );  gap> LoadPackage( "Modules" ); true gap> M := LeftPresentation( HomalgMatrix( [ 2^5 ], R ) );  gap> _M := LeftPresentation( HomalgMatrix( [ 2^3 ], R ) );  gap> alpha2 := HomalgMap( HomalgMatrix( [ 1 ], R ), M, _M );  gap> M_ := Kernel( alpha2 );  gap> alpha1 := KernelEmb( alpha2 );  gap> Display( M_ ); Z_< 2 >/< -4/1 > gap> Display( alpha1 ); [ [ 24 ] ] / 1  the map is currently represented by the above 1 x 1 matrix gap> ByASmallerPresentation( M_ );  gap> Display( M_ ); Z_< 2 >/< 4/1 >
