Step
One: Install
Java 2 (JRE 1.4) - The DANA client
software requires that you have the Java
Runtime Environment version 1.3 or higher
installed on your computer.
The
DANA client software runs through the
Java Web Start (JWS) software delivery
system. By using JWS the ATL is able to
provide quick internet updates to the
software each time you use DANA. JWS is
part of the Java JRE installation.

is capable of delivering and displaying accurate
three-dimensional models of fossils and artifacts.
The 3D viewer module of DANA is optional, but
to take advantage of this capability you must
install the Java3D libraries appropriate for
your system.

Step
Three: Approve Digital Security
Certificate - The NDSU Archaeology
Technologies Lab has digitally signed
the DANA application so that
it will operate securely over the internet.
Because of this, the first time you attempt
to start the DANA software you will be
asked to allow DANA to securely access
your computer. You must
answer Yes (start) to the security question
otherwise the DANA software will not start
up. After using DANA, JWS will place a
quick launch icon on your desktop so that
you no longer need to visit the website
in order to run the software. If you have
not correctly followed steps 1-3, the
DANA application will not run properly.
Launching
DANA: Be sure that you have completed
installation before launching DANA.
