Installation and Building

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. Unzip and untar the distribution, e.g. on Unix:
    gunzip ip_Rx-y.tar.gz
    
tar xvf ip_Rx-y.tar
    Usually this is done in an EPICS 'support' directory. It will produce the subdirectory 
    ip/x-y
  2. Edit the config/RELEASE file of the application that will use ip to point to this directory.
  3. Edit ip's config[ure]/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base and to your versions of other modules on which ip depends.
  4. Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation errors.
  5. Please email  Tim Mooney  so that a record can be kept of which sites are using this software.
