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 vac_R1-2.tar.gz
    
tar xvf vac_R1-2.tar
    Usually this is done in an EPICS 'support' directory. It will produce the subdirectory 
    vac/1-2
  2. Edit the config/RELEASE file of the application that will use vac to point to this directory.
  3. Edit vac's configure/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base and to your versions of other dependent modules.
  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.
