Abstract
We report on the functionality and the underlying theory of the GAP package CoReLG (Computing with Real Lie Groups); it provides functionality to construct real semisimple Lie algebras, to check for isomorphisms, and to compute Cartan decompositions, Cartan subalgebras, and nilpotent orbits.
