= Diana Frequently Asked Questions =

== For which operating systems is Diana provided? ==

Unfortunately we currently provide Diana packages only for Linux systems
(64-bit). 
A Windows version is underway but still at an early stage of development.

== How can I install Diana? ==

Installing Diana requires building it from
sources (the build process is based on {{{autoconf}}}. That is not difficult 
if you have some experience with building free software from sources.[[BR]]
However, Diana depends on a dozen of third-party
libraries, and while some of them are available in Linux distributions
as packages, others are not and have to be built individually before
compiling Diana. [[BR]]

You can find the installation instructions in the file {{{INSTALL}}} 
in the Diana source distribution.

== On a 64-bit system I have installed ProMoT with 32-bit shared library and the 64-bit version of Diana. Will my simulation work? ==

Yes, ProMoT generates c++ files for your model, which are then
compiled using dianac (Diana compiler based on g++/gcc) and simulated with Diana (python). [[BR]]
ProMoT and Diana are independent programs.

== I have found a bug, where do I report it? ==

You can create a new ticket in the [http://promottrac.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/trac/newticket Diana ticket system].
