The Diva System Release software can be installed on a wide range of Linux distributions.
The software consists of an integrated installer, providing automatic detection of the presence and type of the system package manager:
On RPM-based systems, the packages are automatically installed using rpm.
On Debian-based systems, the packages are automatically converted to a .deb-format and installed using dpkg.
To install the software, follow these steps:
Ensure that you are logged in as "root" user (or use "su -").
Run the following command in a terminal window to start the installation:
sh <download path>/Diva4Linux_installer_<nnn>.bin
Where <download path> is the path where you stored the downloaded installer package, and <nnn> is the software version and build number.
Using the command line switch -t <path>, you can specify the temporary working directory for the installer. The default is /tmp/divas.
Follow the instructions on the screen. The installer will search for previous versions of the software and allow uninstallation prior to installing the packaged versions. The configuration files and licenses will be retained.
Move into the source directory where the files have been extracted to:
cd /usr/lib/opendiva/divas/src
Start the build process:
./Build
