Installation

Installing and compiling Diva is fairly easy if you're used to working with Java. Diva 0.3 compiles with JDK1.3.

Installing and compiling the source release

  1. Download the gzipped tar file or the zip file. Change to a directory that you want to place Diva in, and either
      gzcat diva-0.3.tar.gz | tar -xf -
    
    or
      unzip -a diva-0.3.zip
    
    This will create a directory diva in the current directory. On Windows, you can also use a utility such as WinZip.
  2. In the diva directory, type ./configure (see below for arguments to configure). This is a shell script that creates some makefiles with appropriate settings for your installation.

    On windows, we recommend the Cygwin utilities and shell for doing this.

  3. In the diva directory, type make, or make fast.

Arguments to the configure script

The following arguments can be provided on the command line to the configure script.

Installing and running with the JAR file

[FIXME this is broken]

  2. Go to the demo page to run the demos.
