== Installation ==

=== Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) ===

You can use the <code>alien</code> utility to convert the <code>.rpm</code> to a <code>.deb</code> suitable for installation under Ubuntu. If you don't want to install it globally, you can instead use <code>rpm2cpio</code> and <code>rpm</code> to extract the RPM contents and view the post-install script that needs to be run.

<pre># unpack the RPM
mkdir ~/apps/diamond
cd ~/apps/diamond
rpm2cpio ~/Downloads/diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm | cpio -idmv

# run the relevant commands from the post install script
export RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/apps/diamond/usr/local
rpm -qp --scripts ~/Downloads/diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm | sed -n '/^postinstall scriptlet/,${p;/^preuninstall scriptlet/q}' - | grep tar | source /dev/stdin

# place license.dat file in the default license search directory
mv ~/Downloads/license.dat ~/apps/diamond/usr/local/diamond/3.12/license/</pre>
