+You can use the <code>alien</code> utility to convert the <code>.rpm</code> to a <code>.deb</code> suitable for installation under Ubuntu. If you don't want to install it globally, you can instead use <code>rpm2cpio</code> and <code>rpm</code> to extract the RPM contents and view the post-install script that needs to be run.
+<pre># unpack the RPM
+mkdir ~/apps/diamond
+cd ~/apps/diamond
+rpm2cpio ~/Downloads/diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm | cpio -idmv
+# run the relevant commands from the post install script
+export RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/apps/diamond/usr/local
+rpm -qp --scripts ~/Downloads/diamond_3_12-base-240-2-x86_64-linux.rpm | sed -n '/^postinstall scriptlet/,${p;/^preuninstall scriptlet/q}' - | grep tar | source /dev/stdin
+# place license.dat file in the default license search directory
+mv ~/Downloads/license.dat ~/apps/diamond/usr/local/diamond/3.12/license/</pre>
