Hardware and Operation System Requirements

As minimum equipment for Delta2D you can already use a computer with 512 MB of RAM and at least a 900 Mhz processor to run Delta2D 4.1 with acceptable performance. Delta2D runs on Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X (min. 10.4) and Linux. Please contact us if you need more information.

The recommended computer configuration for working with Delta2D is a 2 GHz processor or better, 4 GB of RAM or more and a 64-bit operating system like Windows Vista 64, Mac OS X, or most flavors of Linux 64.

Make backups before updating

If you update from an older version of Delta2D please make sure that you have backups of all your data, i.e. all the gel pool directories you worked in. The location of the current gel pool can be seen in the Preferences dialog.

Windows: Run setup.exe

Install Delta2D by double-clicking on the file setup.exe. The installation program will guide you through the setup process. Please make sure that the installation does not overwrite any existing Delta2D directory, choose a new directory like "Delta2D 4.1".

Mac: Open Delta2D-macosx.dmg

Open Delta2D-macosx.dmg. Start the installer by double-clicking on DECODON Delta2D Installer. The installation program will guide you through the setup process. Please make sure that the installation does not overwrite any existing Delta2D directory, choose a new directory like "Delta2D 4.1".

You need a new license file

The license files for version 4.0 and below do not work with version 4.1.

Opening a project again with version 3.3

If you have created or modified a project with version 3.4 and higher, this project in general cannot be opened or edited with version 3.3 again. However, you should be able to re-open a project with version 3.3 if there are only approved match vectors in your match maps. But we strongly recommend not to mix using version 3.4 and 3.3 with the same project. In particular editing spots which originally have been detected with version 3.4 and higher will produce unexpected results when you continue spot editing in version 3.3.
