DAMBE Installation Instructions
|
 |
- Please register , which is optional but will allow me to inform you of updates, bugs and bug fixes.
- Workshop: Phylogenetics with DAMBE (timed for Evolution 2012 participants)
- The installation instruction here is for Windows, but you can also run DAMBE on Linux or new Macintosh computers.
-
The newest version is at the bottom.
-
If you have installed a previous version of DAMBE, please uninstalled it before
installing the new version by clicking
Start|Settings|Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs
and proceed to remove DAMBE completely. Check C:\Windows\System32 to make sure that DllWithDialog.DLL is deleted (and manually delete it if it it not) before installing a new version of DAMBE.
-
You may want to visit Microsoft
Windows Update Site
to get free updates for your Windows before installing DAMBE.
-
If you are still using early versions of Windows, i.e., 95/98, please install the free
Windows Installer
first.
-
Please follow the installation instructions exactly.
-
For Internet Explorer Users: Click one of the installation packages
(DAMBE*.msi) below. At the dialog asking you whether to open or save the
file, choose the "Open..." option and follow the installation instructions
(just a few mouse clicks in fact).
-
For Netscape Users: Right-click one of the installation packages
(DAMBE*.msi) below. At the pop-up menu, choose 'Save link as' to save the
installation file (DAMBE*.msi) to your harddisk. Click Start|Run and type
in the full path and name of the saved installation package
-
After installation, a program icon will be added to the Start menu. You may now
run the program from the Windows desktop by click Start|Dambe.
-
There will be a number of DNA sequence files in the directory where DAMBE.EXE
resides. Note that I have used different file extension (or type) to designate
different data files for different programs. It is always a good practice to
use one particular file type to designate one particular file format.
- DAMBE (Version 5.3.00 released on May 9, 2012):
- DAMBEXP for Windows XP
- DAMBE for Windows Vista/7 (Support NeXML)
- Rather than left-click and click 'Run' to install, you should right-click DAMBEVista.msi and save it to a directory. Browse to that directory, right-click DAMBEVista.msi and click 'Properties'. Under the 'General' tab, click 'Unblock' and 'Apply'. Now you can left-click the DAMBEVista.msi file to install DAMBE.
- Even after a successful installation, Vista may not give you administrator privilege to run programs even if you login as a member in the administrators group. You may need to right-click 'DAMBE.EXE' in the installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\DAMBE), click 'Properties' and then the 'Compatibility' tab, and choose to run the program with administrator privilege.)
