<h2>
Installation and Building</h2>
<h3>
Source code version</h3>
<p>
After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use
at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions
of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required
modules are needed).</p>
<ol>
<li>Create an installation directory for the module, usually this will end with<br />
<br />
<tt>.../support/</tt>
<br />
</li>
<li>Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style)
<pre>tar xvzf areaDetectorRX-Y.tgz
</pre>
where X-Y is the release.</li>
<li>This creates a &lt;top&gt; application.<br />
<pre>.../support/areaDetectorRX-Y
</pre>
</li>
<li>Edit the <tt>configure/RELEASE</tt> file and set the paths to your installation
of EPICS base and to your versions of supporting modules.</li>
<li>Run <tt>gnumake</tt> in the top level directory and check for any compilation
errors.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Prebuilt version</h3>
<ol>
<li>Create an installation directory for the module.</li>
<li>Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style)
<pre>tar xvzf areaDetectorPrebuiltRX-Y.tgz</pre>
</li>
<li>In the iocBoot directory make a copy of the example ioxXXX directory for the detector
you are using and give it a new local name. By doing this you will be able to update
to later versions of areaDetector without overwriting modifications you make in
the iocXXX directory.</li>
<li>In the new iocXXX directory you just created edit st.cmd to change the PV prefix
$(P) to one that is unique to your site. PV prefixes must be unique on the subnet,
and if you use the default prefix there could be a conflict with other detectors
of the same type. </li>
<li>In the same iocXXX directory edit the file envPaths to point to the locations
of all of the support modules on your system. Normally this is handled by the EPICS
build system, but when using the prebuilt version this must be manually edited.
Do not worry about the path to EPICS_BASE, it is not required.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is described in detail in the <a href="areaDetectorDoc.html#Installation">installation
section of the areaDetector documentation</a>.</p>
