.. note ::
The default branch of our git repository is developer. It contains the
latest development version. It is expected to compile and work but
features might be added or tweaked. In some cases the API might also change
without being communicated. If absolute stability of the API is needed please
use one of the release versions.
.. warning ::
Before building from source make sure that you have the
:doc:`dependencies <../dependencies>` installed. If installing using conda, conda will
manage the dependencies. Avoid also installing packages with pip.
.. _Installation:
Installation
===============
Install binaries using conda
-------------------------------
Conda is not only useful to manage python environments but can also
be used as a user space package manager. Dates in the tag (for eg. 2020.07.23.dev0)
are from the developer branch. Please use released tags for stability.
We have three different packages available:
* **slsdetlib** shared libraries and command line utilities
* **slsdetgui** GUI
* **slsdet** Python bindings
.. code-block:: bash
#Add channels for dependencies and our library
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels slsdetectorgroup
conda config --set channel_priority strict
#create and activate an environment with our library
#replace 6.1.1 with the required tag
conda create -n myenv slsdetlib=6.1.1
conda activate myenv
#ready to use
sls_detector_get exptime
etc ...
.. code-block:: bash
#List available versions
# lib and binaries
conda search slsdetlib
# python
conda search slsdet
# gui
conda search slsdetgui
Build from source
-------------------
1. Download Source Code from github
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/slsDetectorPackage.git --branch 6.1.1
| **Pybind for Python**
| v7.0.0+:
| pybind11 packaged into 'libs/pybind'. No longer a submodule. No need for "recursive" or "submodule update".
|
| Older versions:
| pybind11 is a submodule. Must be cloned using "recursive" and updated when switching between versions using the following commands.
.. code-block:: bash
# clone using recursive to get pybind11 submodule
git clone --recursive https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/slsDetectorPackage.git
# update submodule when switching between releases
cd slsDetectorPackage
git submodule update --init
.. _build from source using cmake:
2. Build from Source
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Build using CMake
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
# outside slsDetecorPackage folder
mkdir build && cd build
# configure & generate Makefiles using cmake
# by listing all your options (alternately use ccmake described below)
# cmake3 for some systems
cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path
# compiled to the build/bin directory
make -j12 #or whatever number of cores you are using to build
# install headers and libs in /your/install/path directory
make install
Instead of the cmake command, one can use ccmake to get a list of options to configure and generate Makefiles at ease.
.. code-block:: bash
# ccmake3 for some systems
ccmake ..
# choose the options
# first press [c] - configure
# then press [g] - generate
=============================== ===========================================
Example cmake options Comment
=============================== ===========================================
-DSLS_USE_PYTHON=ON Python
-DPython_FIND_VIRTUALENV=ONLY Python from only the conda environment
-DZeroMQ_HINT=/usr/lib64 Use system zmq instead
-DSLS_USE_GUI=ON GUI
=============================== ===========================================
Build using in-built cmk.sh script
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
The binaries are generated in slsDetectorPackage/build/bin directory.
Usage: ./cmk.sh [-b] [-c] [-d <HDF5 directory>] [e] [g] [-h] [i] [-j <Number of threads>]
[-k <CMake command>] [-l <Install directory>] [m] [n] [-p] [-q <Zmq hint directory>]
[r] [s] [t] [u] [z]
-[no option]: only make
-b: Builds/Rebuilds CMake files normal mode
-c: Clean
-d: HDF5 Custom Directory
-e: Debug mode
-g: Build/Rebuilds only gui
-h: Builds/Rebuilds Cmake files with HDF5 package
-i: Builds tests
-j: Number of threads to compile through
-k: CMake command
-l: Install directory
-m: Manuals
-n: Manuals without compiling doxygen (only rst)
-p: Builds/Rebuilds Python API
-q: Zmq hint directory
-r: Build/Rebuilds only receiver
-s: Simulator
-t: Build/Rebuilds only text client
-u: Chip Test Gui
-z: Moench zmq processor
# display all options
./cmk.sh -?
# new build and compile in parallel (recommended basic option):
./cmk.sh -cbj5
# new build, python and compile in parallel:
./cmk.sh -cbpj5
#To use the system zmq (/usr/lib64) instead
./cmk.sh -cbj5 -q /usr/lib64
Build on old distributions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If your linux distribution doesn't come with a C++11 compiler (gcc>4.8) then
it's possible to install a newer gcc using conda and build the slsDetectorPackage
using this compiler
.. code-block:: bash
#Create an environment with the dependencies
conda create -n myenv gxx_linux-64 cmake zmq
conda activate myenv
# outside slsDetecorPackage folder
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX
make -j12
Build slsDetectorGui (Qt5)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Using pre-built binary on conda
.. code-block:: bash
conda create -n myenv slsdetgui=7.0.0
conda activate myenv
2. Using system installation on RHEL7
.. code-block:: bash
yum install qt5-qtbase-devel.x86_64
yum install qt5-qtsvg-devel.x86_64
3. Using conda
.. code-block:: bash
#Add channels for dependencies and our library
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels slsdetectorgroup
conda config --set channel_priority strict
# create environment to compile
# on rhel7
conda create -n slsgui zeromq gxx_linux-64 gxx_linux-64 mesa-libgl-devel-cos6-x86_64 qt
# on fedora or newer systems
conda create -n slsgui zeromq qt
# when using conda compilers, would also need libgl, but no need for it on fedora unless maybe using it with ROOT
# activate environment
conda activate slsgui
# compile with cmake outside slsDetecorPackage folder
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DSLS_USE_GUI=ON
make -j12
# or compile with cmk.sh
cd slsDetectorPackage
./cmk.sh -cbgj9
Build this documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The documentation for the slsDetectorPackage is build using a combination
of Doxygen, Sphinx and Breathe. The easiest way to install the dependencies
is to use conda
.. code-block:: bash
conda create -n myenv python sphinx_rtd_theme breathe
.. code-block:: bash
# using cmake or ccmake to enable DSLS_BUILD_DOCS
# outside slsDetecorPackage folder
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DSLS_BUILD_DOCS=ON
make docs # generate API docs and build Sphinx RST
make rst # rst only, saves time in case the API did not change
