- Started on Ubuntu 10.04 on my 32-bit Linux notebook. I use tcsh as Linux shell.
- Download EPICS base 3.14.11, which was the current stable version", in the form of tar file "baseR3.14.11.tar.gz" from EPICS web site.
- Copy tar file into /usr/local/epics directory and unzip it there.MAke sure to have correct ownership of the directory.
- Create a soft link /usr/local/epics/base/ pointing to the directory with the newly created version of EPICS distribution.
- Edit /usr/local/epics/base/startup/Site.cshrc file and comment out the line with echo $ADTHOME.
- Check that the /usr/local/epics/base/startup/EpicsHostArch.pl script returns the correct architecture for the computer system you are installing EPICS on..
- Source the EPICS base setup script /usr/local/epics/base/startup/Site.cshrc
- cd $EPICS_BASE
- make
- This will install the main libraries and executables of EPICS. You will need to add the EPICS base bin directory to the PATH environment variable to use EPICS: setenv PATH "$PATH"":$EPICS_BASE/bin/linux-x86:"
