Installation and Building

-

- Source code version

-

- 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).

-
    -
  1. Create an installation directory for the module, usually this will end with
    -
    - .../support/ -
    -
    2. -
  2. Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style) - 
    tar xvzf areaDetectorRX-Y.tgz
-
-
    - where X-Y is the release.
    3. -
  3. This creates a <top> application.
    - 
    .../support/areaDetectorRX-Y
-
    -
    4. -
  4. Edit the configure/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation - of EPICS base and to your versions of supporting modules.
    5. -
  5. Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation - errors.
    6. -

- Prebuilt version

-
    -
  1. Create an installation directory for the module.
    2. -
  2. Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style) - 
    tar xvzf areaDetectorPrebuiltRX-Y.tgz
    -
    3. -
  3. 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.
    4. -
  4. 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.
    5. -
  5. 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.
    6. -

This is described in detail in the installation + section of the areaDetector documentation.
