  • M2engine -- use subroutines implemented in Macaulay2 engine (DEFAULT)
  • M2enginePrecookedSLPs -- (reserved for developers)
An external program may be used to replace a part of functionality of the package provide the corresponding software is installed:
  • PHCPACK -- use PHCpack for homotopy continuation
  • BERTINI -- use Bertini for homotopy continuation
  • HOM4PS2 -- use HOM4PS for homotopy continuation
