Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Good to know that for a quick start I can use site-specific versions - I was afraid to violate some license agreements for using a site-specific package outside that site.
For a final product I will compile it myself.
Do I understand correctly that CSS is under Eclipse Public License?

Subject: Re: where to download CCS Boy?
Hi:
Just like EPICS, CSS is a toolkit for creating a control system.
You cannot download a binary of EPICS, unzip, start, and then operate your accelerator.
Instead, you download the sources, compile, implement some device drivers that are specific to your site and so on.
On https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/CSS/Training/, check the CSS training docs from a session at FRIB pretty much exactly a year ago, https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/CSS/Training/FRIB/5%20CSS_Integrated.pdf .
Slide 13 lists various components of CSS, trying to separate them into common and specific.
The “Basic EPICS” CSS from https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/css/products.html has what you may call a “vanilla CSS”: BOY display builder, Data Browser, Probe, .., but even there we’ve had discussions on what a “vanilla CSS” should be.
Should it include the BOY editor, or only the runtime? Should it include the Data Browser, or just the BOY runtime?
You could create a product with just the BOY runtime. Another product with just the Data Browser. Another product with just Probe. I think that’ll be silly, so I’m not doing that, but you could.
The SNS version includes connectivity for the SNS logbook.
The NSLS2 version includes connectivity for the OLog logbook, and Channel Finder support.
The ITER version includes tools for the ITER IOC configuration database.
All these site-specific variants could be run at your site, but they’ll include items that you don’t need, and might be pre-configured to connect to logbooks, archived data servers etc. which don’t apply to your site.
