The current stable release can be downloaded from Github, where you can also find further release notes.
Development Builds¶
Nightly build installers are available for Linux and Mac OS and may be downloaded from LBL or Diamond. Builds for Microsoft Windows are not currently available, but will be added in the near future. For instructions on compiling from source or setting up a DIALS development environment, see Installation for Developers.
Installation¶
Mac graphical binary installers¶
We provide a graphical package installer for Mac users. Download the
Mac OS X 10.11
or
Mac OS X 10.6
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 http://dials.diamond.ac.uk/diamond_builds/dials-linux-x86_64.tar.xz
tar -xJf dials-linux-x86_64.tar.xz
cd dials-installer-dev
Or on Mac:
curl http://dials.diamond.ac.uk/diamond_builds/dials-macosx.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

Unfortunately we don’t currently provide Windows binaries, although we do plan to add them in due course. For instructions on building DIALS from source, see Installing DIALS from SVN on Windows
