Have you looked at the areaDetector installation guide? https://areadetector.github.io/master/install_guide.html

There are 2 ways to do it.

This will clone all the detectors:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector.git

This will clone just what you need for ADDexela
git clone https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector.git
<https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector.git>cd areaDetector
git clone https://github.com/areaDetector/ADSupport.git
git clone https://github.com/areaDetector/ADCore.git
git clone https://github.com/areaDetector/ADDexela.git

The first method will give you the version of each submodule at the time that a specific tag of areaDetector and ADCore were released.  That will usually not correspond to a tag like ADDexela R2-10, because ADCore and each detector are released independently.   So you need to go into each repository and either checkout a specific tag, or checkout the master branch.

For example

cd areaDetector
git checkout R3-10
cd ADCore
git checkout R3-10
cd ../ADSupport
git checkout R1-9
git ../ADDexela
git checkout master
or
git checkout R2-3

All,

At this point I have two questions.

1) what is the proper way to get a clean areaDetector distribution, e.g. R3-10 with the appropriate modules? The areaDetector github repository has many modules and I don't know that I am using it correctly.

2) After grabbing areaDetector R3-10 I get the error:

Hi John,

Freddie is correct, you need at least ADCore R3-10 where deviceIsReachable was added to the ADDriver base class.

Hi John,

‘deviceIsReachable’ should be inherited from the base class, so I think master branch of ADDexela just requires a more recent areaDetector version than the one you are currently using.

Regards,

Freddie

I've exhausted myself getting this far today. Any help appreciated.
