Hello,

This is my first post.

I would appreciate any guidance in locating/writing a
procedure/script to install EPICS-R3.14.12 specifically on an
x86 PC with a freshly installed Ubuntu-12.04-LTS operating system.

The documentation I have located so far is very good but very general
and assumes the reader is an experienced professional,
working in a national laboratory.

I would like to locate/write (with some guidance) a
procedure/script to install EPICS-R3.14.12 specifically on an
x86 PC with a freshly installed Ubuntu-12.04-LTS operating system;
targeted at students, from post-graduate to elementary levels.
What would our lives have been like if we had
access to such a thing when we were 10 years old?

I am interested in the application of
EPICS-R3.14.12 as a backbone of the Built Environment.

Thanks,
Keith Parker

Hi Keith,

you might start with the Debian packaged version of EPICS base [1].
These packages should install on Ubuntu, and are by far the easiest and most streamline way to get EPICS running.
