How can I use a library from github?

Tell me how to properly load the library I need from github into my project?

Well, it depends. If it has a pack.pl file, chances are good that you can install it via pack_install/1. For instance, the tap package from https://github.com/fnogatz/tap can be installed as follows:

?- pack_install('https://github.com/fnogatz/tap.git').

Then, you can use it via ?- use_module(library(tap)).

If that’s not working for you, you better give a hint on which library you intend to use :slight_smile:

The project has a readme; did you read it? It doesn’t look like a pack. It is also ancient. You need to provide more relevant detail in your questions.

I asked how to connect it to my project?

you could fork the project and add a pack as per fnogatz’s example:

Sometimes people don’t have time to explain too explicitly what you’d like them to.
