Mac graphical binary installers¶

We provide a graphical package installer for Mac users. Download the Mac OS X installer and double click the .pkg file to start the graphical installer. Follow the instructions, which will install DIALS in the /Applications/ directory. To use DIALS, open a new terminal window and type, e.g.:

source /Applications/dials-dev20150903/dials_env.sh

to setup the DIALS environment.

Mac and Linux binary installers¶

We provide binary tar.gz and tar.xz files for various Mac and Linux platforms, e.g. on Linux:

wget https://dials.diamond.ac.uk/diamond_builds/dials-linux-x86_64-conda3.tar.xz
tar -xJf dials-linux-x86_64-conda3.tar.xz
cd dials-installer-dev

Or on Mac:

curl https://dials.diamond.ac.uk/diamond_builds/dials-macosx-conda3.tar.gz > dials-macosx.tar.gz
tar -xzf dials-macosx.tar.gz
cd dials-installer-dev

Then to install in the /usr/local directory (you may need to add a sudo before the command):

./install

or to install in a specified directory:

./install --prefix=/path/to/installation/directory/

To use DIALS, open a new terminal window and type, e.g.:

source /path/to/installation/directory/dials-dev/dials_env.sh
