To compile dinamica on your computer you need GNU Scientific Library
(GSL) source files and standard C routines installed.

1) Decompress the archive

   gunzip -d <dinamica_tarball>.tar.gz

where <dinamca_tarball>.tar.gz is for example dinamica0.1.tar.gz for
Dinamica ver. 0.1. As a result You have <dinamica_tarball>.tar in
current directory.

   tar -xf <dinamica_tarball>.tar

As a result you will have some directories and files extracted to the
current directory.

2) If You have all libraries (most important is GSL) installed properly, next command
compiles the program:

   make

In the current directory there will be executable `dinamica' and shared library
`libdin.so', linked to `libdin.so.<ver>' file. You may want to install them to
directories like /usr/local/bin/ and /usr/local/lib/ by yourself. However, you can do
that by typing

   make install

This will copy `dinamica' and `libdin.so.<ver>' to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib
respectively, where they will be available globally in the system. Additionally,
there will be link `libdin.so' in /usr/local/lib pointing to the most recent version
of the library.

The versions >= 0.9.1 have the Gnuplot interface that provides for the graphical
features in Dinamica.

3) Starting from version 0.7.* you need to write the ODE system in the Bard
Ermentrout's XPPAUT ode files style. See for details
<http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/xpp/xpp.html> with extensive information on how to
write ode files. The XPPAUT ode files syntax is much more extensive, so do not bother
about "Uknown lines" warning messages. NOTE there is additional syntax available in
Dinamica. For example, you could provide Dinamica with `#system' directive in the ode
file. This specifies how many coupled systems you have, since Dinamica treats coupled
ODE systems on its specialization. But of course it can be run as a simple integrator
with variety of complicated analysis. To start analysis type:

   dinamica <your_file>.ode

Then Dinamica fires up. 

* Much more extensive manual is to be written.

Enjoy!
