====== Installing Diana from Launchpad ======

For users of Ubuntu, it might be easiest to install the pre-built packages for Diana and other software
from MET Norway from the [[https://launchpad.net/~met-norway/+archive/ubuntu/metapps|MET Norway metapps PPA]].

General installation instructions are given under //Adding this PPA to your system// and //Read about installing//.

==== Installation Summary ====

You need to be able to run the ''sudo'' command to be able to install Diana packages (or any other packages).

  sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:met-norway/fimex
  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:met-norway/metapps
  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install diana-3.50 ...

The version numbers might, of course, change over time.

==== First Test ====

Assuming that you installed ''diana-3.50'', you might want to test that Diana is installed correctly by running it:

  diana.bin-3.50 -s /etc/diana/3.50/diana.setup

Now you need to configure Diana for your workstation by editing/writing a ''diana.setup'' file.
