Download the ZIP file with the filename ending in linux32 or linux64 from the website - you can check whether you have a 32 or 64-bit version of Linux by opening a Terminal window (e.g. xterm, gnome-terminal etc.) and typing:

Code Block
languagebash
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname ~]$ uname -m
i686       <== 32-bit
x86_64     <== 64-bit

Once the download completes, extract the files to a directory. As a user, type:

Code Block
languagebash
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname ~]$ mkdir ~/dawn
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname ~]$ cd ~/dawn
[user@myhostname ~]$ cp ~/Downloads/DawnDiamond-1.6.0.v20140703-1228-linux64{version}-linux{32|64}.zip .
[user@hostname ~]$ cd ~/dawn
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname dawn]$ unzip DawnDiamond-{version}-linux{32|64}.zip
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname dawn]$ dawn &

To run DAWN in the future you will have to start a terminal window and type:

Code Block
languagebash
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname ]$ cd ~/dawn
[user@hostnameuser@myhostname ]$ dawn &

(You can use the ~/bin directory and a symbolic link to make accessing DAWN even easier - for more info check out this link)

 

For Administrators/advanced users: if you have administrator rights, you can unpack dawn to /usr/local/dawn and make dawn DAWN available to all users directly from the terminal: 

Code Block
languagebash
[user@myhostname ~]$ mkdir /usr/local/dawn
[user@myhostname ~]$ cd /usr/local/dawn
[user@myhostname ~]$ cp ~/Downloads/DawnDiamond-{version}-linux{32|64}.zip .
[user@myhostname dawn]$ unzip DawnDiamond-{version}-linux{32|64}.zip
[user@myhostname dawn]$ ln -s /usr/local/dawn/dawn /usr/local/bin/dawn
